Faye Dean Elkins Robey, age 75, of 205 Holly Drive, Camden, NC died Wednesday, June 24, 2015 at Sentara Albemarle Medical Center. She was born February 21, 1940 in Holden, West Virginia to the late Carey and Sallie Baisden Blair and was the wife of Clarence Robey, Jr. of the residence.

I have such wonderful and happy memories of Ms. Faye. Spending time with her when we were young was always a lot of fun. From making pizza by hand, doing crafts, having sleep overs and watching scary movies…. I wish I could have one more phone call to let her know how much she meant to me. I know she loved her family so very much, I enjoyed the stories she would share. She was proud of her grandbabies 🙂 I am so very sorry for your loss and will keep all of you in my prayers. I am sure she and Ona will be catching up. Much love- Diane Lanning Waters
