On May 28th, 1954, God graced the lives of Geraldine and Charles Graves with the birth of a little daughter, Ethel Faye Graves, in Lebanon, Kentucky. Faye was born at home.

Faye attended grade school in Valley Station, near Louisville, Kentucky. In 1969 Faye's family moved from Louisville to Midwest City, Oklahoma. Faye attended high school at Midwest City High School, where she met the love of her life "Ed" Charles Edwin Kizzia Jr., who was attending Oscar Rose Jr. College. They were married on her birthday May 28th, 1971.

On July 2nd, 1972 the couple welcomed their first child "Annie" Angela Marie Kizzia. Shortly after on December 27th, 1973, their second daughter "Tina" Katina Michelle Kizzia was born. Although she only had 2 daughters, she was a "mother" to many.

Faye and Ed operated a small business called Data Register Systems, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Faye worked as a secretary for many years.

Faye enjoyed working with the various children's programs at church. She loved traveling with her family, playing cards, and more than anything she loved spending time relaxing with her husband "Ed".

Faye was a devoted homemaker and enjoyed raising her children, grandchildren, and any child that walked through her door. She was always there to lend an ear. Her home was always open and filled with love to anyone who needed a hot meal or place to stay. She could always be found on Roosevelt Ave. in Sand Springs, Oklahoma with her door open.
