Faye Jeanette Wilson

Faye Jeanette Kittrell passed peacefully on December 15, 2020 in Fayetteville. She was born to Newton Caswell Wilson and Geraldine Carter Wilson on October 27, 1929 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Faye grew up on the Wilson family farm in Prairie Grove and attended the University of Arkansas, where she met Charles Minor Kittrell II, a marine veteran from Gregory. They married in Fayetteville and raised their family in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where they lived for many years.

Faye treasured her friends and was a devoted wife and mother. She was the beating heart at the center of her far-flung family and shared this same boundless love with her community. Faye traveled widely and greatly admired the many different cultures she encountered, but perhaps the most treasured of her international experiences were the quiet, personal conversations she shared with those she met. She spent her final years in Northwest Arkansas, surrounded by loving family after a beautiful lifetime of adventure.

Faye is preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Coretta “Toady” Edwards. She is survived by her husband, Charles; sister, Sue Swab; three children, Carmen Weaver, Niki Vos, and Chuck Kittrell; seven grandchildren, Chaz Kittrell, Roy Kittrell, Henry Kittrell, Elizabeth Vos, Wilson Weaver, Jennifer Vos, and George Kittrell; and three great-grandchildren.

Visitation to celebrate and remember Faye will be held December 19 at Luginbuel Funeral Home in Prairie Grove from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. graveside service in the Pavilion of Prairie Grove Cemetery.
