Obituary of Wanda Faye Armour
Wanda Faye Armour
Faye Armour, age 96, of Channahon, IL, passed away peacefully at Lightways Hospice on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, with her two daughters by her side. She was born in Jonesboro, IL, on September 15, 1927, the daughter of the late Posey and Cora (Brown) Tucker.
Faye had a great passion for books as she was an avid reader. She liked to say she traveled the world through all the books she read and her favorite book was the Bible. She was a long-time member of the First Baptist Church of Channahon. One of her greatest joys was being a granny, and being with her family.
Faye is survived by her daughters, Jan (the late David) Walker and Lisa Armour; her grandchildren, Ian (Laurie) Walker and Aislinn (Derek) Jones; great-grandchildren, Sydney and Blake Jones, Aubrey Walker, and Kaitlynn and Austin Kavanaugh; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 68 ½ years, Fred Armour, Jr. in 2023; six brothers; 4 sisters; son-in-law, David Walker; and great-grandson, Caleb Jones.
Special thanks to several exceptional caregivers, Nycki, Carita, Nichole, and Carol.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Main Street Baptist Church, 110 S. Division St., Braidwood, IL 60408.
