Faye Deans Quinn

Faye Deans Quinn, 82, passed peacefully into the presence of her Lord on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at Kitty Askins Hospice Center, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in Wayne County on December 28, 1943, to the late Walter B. Deans and Edna Jones Deans, Faye lived a life deeply rooted in faith and family. She faithfully served her community through her long career with the United States Federal Government, retiring from the Finance Department at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. A devoted member of Victory Free Will Baptist Church, Faye’s love for the Lord guided her every step, shaping her into a woman known for her quiet strength, kindness, and unwavering devotion.

Faye found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved dancing, listening to good music, and shopping, especially when it meant spending time with those she cherished. Her family was the center of her world, and many treasured memories were made around her table, where she shared delicious meals, laughter, and love. A wonderful cook, she created a warm and welcoming home. Faye took special delight in her grandchildren, proudly cheering them on at sports events and school activities. She enjoyed traveling, particularly trips to the beach, and cherished quiet moments playing canasta with family and friends.

She is survived by her husband of 20 years, Louis Quinn; her daughters, Kim Norman Johnson and husband Ricky, Tracy Norman McKeel and husband Ken, and Jackie Norman Lewis and husband Kemp; her cherished grandchildren, Ashley Rosencrance (Tim), Bryce McKeel (Rachel), Tanner McKeel (Savannah), Addyson McKeel, Jackson Lewis (Catie), and Reece Lewis; her great-grandchild, Karson Rosencrance; her brother, W. B. “Benny” Deans, Jr. and wife Shirley; and her stepchildren, Lori Quinn Mitchell and husband Don, Joey Quinn and wife Sharon, Teddy Quinn, and their families. Faye will be remembered as a loving wife, devoted mother, proud grandmother, and faithful friend whose life was defined by her love for her family and her faith in her Savior.
