Eddie Faye Boyd

Miss Eddie Faye Boyd from Harvest, Alabama, passed away peacefully at her home in Athens, Alabama at the age of 92 surrounded by family, friends and loved ones. She was born April 26,1932 in Huntsville, Alabama to A. and Dovie Armstrong. 

Eddie met her husband Paul E. Boyd at a local movie theatre at the sweet age of 14 where he kept flipping the ribbon in her hair to get her attention. It was love at first sight and the two married on December 16, 1950. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. God and family was always first in everything she did.

Eddie found her love for working outside of the home by working as a manager at Ben Franklins. She was an active member at the Bay St. Louis Senior Center while living in MS. She absolutely loved working in her garden, in her flowerbeds or just sitting on the porch in her swing. She loved the beach and all things outdoors. She loved playing games, crafts and oil painting. Her favorite Holiday was Christmas, and her favorite time of the year was Springtime. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, A. and Dovie Armstrong; grandson, Joshua M. Boyd, grandson, Tyler Craig Crutcher; son, Paul “Rick” Boyd; and siblings, Melvin Armstrong, Joe W. “Sharkey” Armstrong, Dorothy Peppers, Katherine Jordan, Roseine Young and Freddie Armstrong.

Survivors include her sister, Sue Fisher; children, David E. Boyd (Edie Boyd), Michael W. Boyd (Jackie Boyd); daughter-in-law, Arlene Johnson; grandchildren, Clayton Fitch, Blake Fitch, Carrie A. Crutcher (Craig Crutcher), Kim M. Kistler (Chris Kistler), Christopher M. Boyd (Andria Boyd), Tracy N. Boyd (Walter Newton), Jeremiah D. Boyd, Amy Johnson (Mike Johnson) and Andrew Johnson (Sarah Johnson); great grandchildren, Ella Boyd, Silas Boyd, Chandler Crutcher, Aubree Fitch, Allison White (Jessie White), Regan Braswell (Matt Sperber), Darrell Brake, Kaitlyn Kistler, Nathaniel Boyd, Ava, AJ, Juvenal, Micalla and Jace; great-great grandchildren, Nolan Dycus, Kennedy Dycus, Memphis Wells, Laken Hillis, Sylve Brake; and a host of nieces, nephews, and loved ones. 

Eddie touched the hearts of so many people. We would also love to thank the Huntsville Hospice team and especially her Nurse Reita for the care that was provided.
