Faye Marie Giovannoni passed away in Carson City, NV. She is survived by her loving husband of almost 62 years, Don Giovannoni; daughter, Flora Giovannoni; son and daughter-in-law, Don Vito & Diana Giovannoni; granddaughters, Sofia Giovannoni, Kacie DeKruse, granddaughter and fiance, Deanne Belardino & Josh Petrell; grandson and fiance, Rob DeKruse & Caitlin Savage; great-grandchildren, Adrianna, Payton, Kylee and Joseph; along with grand-doggies, Skipper, Gipper and Gage. Faye was born in Los Angeles to Frederick & Faye Schaefer. She spent the majority of her childhood in the Los Angeles area and then some of her high school days in North Fork, CA. She moved to Stockton, CA with her parents during the latter part of her high school years. That is where she met the love of her life, Don, and they were married September 22, 1952 in Stockton, CA. She and Don raised their daughter and son primarily in Stockton. Don & Faye lived in South Lake Tahoe from 1978-1988 at which time they relocated back to Stockton. In 1995, they relocated to Carson City, NV where they had made their home ever since. Faye's working career centered mainly around accounts payable positions, with her last job being a housewares demonstrator at Gottschalks in Carson City, NV. She loved talking with the customers and showing them the latest in housewares, small appliances and gadgets. Faye also made many friends during this time. She had many interests, including reading and cooking, along with dabbling in gardening now and then. She even did cake decorating and ceramics, but her recent love was machine embroidery. While working at Gottschalks, she met a very special friend who introduced her to machine embroidery and it was then that her creativity really flourished. She enjoyed creating gifts for others and putting smiles on their faces. Faye made friends easily and people seemed to flock to her wherever she went. She always had a kind word to say about everyone. She had many pets, mostly dogs, throughout her life and she loved all kinds of animals. She could put a smile on her face simply by looking out the window on a sunny day and watching the birds, bunnies or quail going by. Her smile, sense of humor, generosity, good advice, love of life and, of course her cooking, will be missed by all her family, friends, and those who knew and loved her. Wishing Faye much peace, comfort and love at this time and always. God Bless You.....you will be in our hearts forever, never to be forgotten. Until we meet again......
