Leave a tribute for Margie Faye H. Gurley.
We had the pleasure of meeting ‘Ms. Margie’ as we delivered meals to seniors. She was a lovely woman with a kind heart and ‘can do’ spirit. We have thought of her often, and are saddened to hear that she has passed. Our lives are richer for knowing such a fine woman. May you all be comforted by memories of your times together.
Prayers for everyone. She was such a sweetie.
We are praying for the family. We enjoyed all our times together with Faye and she will be greatly missed. Until we meet again Love, The Bobby Hoyle family
Steve, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. It's terrible to lose your parents. I will be praying for comfort during this sad time. Miss seeing my Drexel family.
Faye was always such an even tempered, wise and balanced connection to our extended family. I will always value our visits, especially over recent years. These rare qualities are also reflected in your families and children as well, Steve and Sue, Val and Rob. I will miss her special connection with the Hurley family story. She has passed along precious values so vital to each of us. Sharon and I look forward to connecting with you for a special gathering to honor her. In the meantime, God's peace and assurance of better days and a better world to come. Jerry and Sharon
Aunt Faye was like a second mother. I love to hear her stories. She may be gone, but the memories, the love, the care that she gave to the world is concreted in all of our memories. I love you and will miss you all the day of my remaining life. Say hello to my dad. Give him a hug and both of you watch over us all.
