On Thursday, October 30, 2008, Faye Cordia Proctor of Indian Head, Maryland quietly departed this life for one eternal.

Faye was the daughter of the late Irene Elizabeth Proctor and the late Ulysses Bowman. She was born in Charles County, Maryland on January 15, 1956. She was a lifetime resident of Charles County having attended the local schools and graduated from Lackey High School.

She worked for the Department of Air Force, Andrews Air Force Base, Camp Springs, Maryland for thirteen years until her declining health forced her to retire. She also worked at the Pentagon for a season and for the Maryland Independent Newspaper.

Faye truly enjoyed cooking for her family, especially during the holiday seasons. She would insist you have a bite to eat. She enjoyed listening to Gospel music on Sundays and watching TV. One of her favorite shows was "Touched By An Angel." She would also spend time completing crossword puzzles.

She will be remembered for speaking her mind, often saying phrases such as "what part you missed and I don't have no cut card." She also had a great sense of humor and a "down to earth" personality.

Keys Proctor; brother-in-law, Gregory James Keys; aunts, Elaine Proctor Jones and Christine Proctor; uncles, Jerome "Shoemaker" Proctor, Roland Proctor, Horace "Billy" Proctor, Robert Proctor, James Proctor and John Proctor.
