Ms. Edens was born May 9, 1930 in Rockingham County, NC, to the late Willie Van Noles and Lucille Campbell Noles.  She was a graduate of Leaksville High School, Class of 1948. Fay was actively involved with her classmates and enjoyed participating in all class functions.  She was a retiree of E. I. DuPont and Rexham Corporation.  Fay will be remembered by her family as a fun-loving and adventurous lady who, at the age of 86, went zip-lining, making seven of the 10 runs.
