Faye Jacquline Poteat, a beacon of strength, resilience, and unwavering love, completed her earthly journey on May 21, 2026.

Born in Eden, North Carolina, on September 3, 1954, Faye charmed everyone with her radiant smile and sparkling personality. Her life was a tapestry of love, woven with threads of determination, courage, and an unabashed zest for life. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Faye, in her unique way, made everyone feel special and loved.

In her professional life, Faye was a beacon of tenacity, navigating her way to the position of Manager in the bustling world of wholesaling, where she proved her mettle with her exceptional leadership skills. Even after her retirement, Faye's influence remained as she continued to inspire others with her wisdom and experience. Her residence in Mesquite, Texas, was a warm haven for all, resonating with her infectious laughter and nurturing nature. It was here that she embraced her role as a loving wife to her husband, Paul Poteat, and served as the enduring pillar of their shared life.

Faye was the beloved daughter of the late Henry and Margaret Broadnax. Her memories and legacy continue to thrive through her husband, Paul, who stood by her side as her rock and confidante. As we mourn the loss of this exceptional woman, we also celebrate her life, her spirit, and the indelible mark she has left on all our hearts. As Helen Keller rightly said, "What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us."

We invite you to share your memories of Faye Poteat and upload photos to the memorial page.
