Fay Ann (Ray) Hebert

Fay was born on November 4, 1930, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Bernice and Rex Ray. In 1952, she moved to Broward County, Florida, with her first child, beginning a new chapter in her life with the support of her grandparents, Dwight and Blanche Matthews. She married and was blessed with three daughters. When life took an unexpected turn, Fay became a single mother and raised four children on her own.

Fay was never afraid to seek out life’s adventures. Her journey took her to Florida, California, and Colorado, reflecting her willingness to embrace new places and experiences. Wherever life led her, her story remained one of resilience, independence, and love.

In 1985, Fay married the true love of her life, Joseph Hebert, and together they built a life filled with love and companionship. In addition to her children, one of Fay’s greatest passions was caring for animals. She loved many animals throughout her life, and each held a special place in her heart.

During the last 12 years of her life, Fay was lovingly cared for by her daughter, Jackie Morrison, and Jackie’s husband, Rex Waldo. Their devotion provided Fay with comfort, companionship, and loving support, reflecting the deep bond they shared.

Fay will be laid to rest with her beloved Joseph Hebert, reunited with him in peace.
