Fain was born in Asheville, N. C. and raised in Greenville, S. C. She and her late husband settled in Stanardsville, Va. for the last 42 years where her home was named “Peke’s Pike” after her love for the Pekingese dog breed and plans to breed them. Fain loved her pets dearly and her family and friends deeply. In return, she was loved and had high regards as the “sweetest” person by all who had the pleasure of knowing her, from near and far. There was never a mean or hateful word uttered from her lips. Fain’s love, kindness, and service to others in need were her greatest gifts.
Fain and her late husband, Bruce, were best known for the years owning and operating “The Greene House Shops” in Ruckersville, Va. and being active members of the Stanardsville Baptist Church for most of their time spent in Stanardsville.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on March 1, 2025 at Stanardsville Baptist Church with Tom Zakielarz officiating.   
In lieu of flowers, please donate to one of Fain’s favorite charities, St. Jude’s Hospital for Children, ASPCA or similar organizations, or Turnnel to Towers in her honor.
