Fayetta (Tindall) Emmons, 82, Crystal

Fayetta (Tindall) Emmons, 82, passed away on Friday, March 10, 2023, at Jasper Memorial Hospital, surrounded by her loved ones.

She was born on January 30, 1941, to Harry and Della Tindall of Mulkeytown, Illinois. 

She attended Lockyear Business College in Evansville, Indiana and met the love of her life.

Faye married Charles O. Emmons on January 31, 1960, and they were happily married for 62 years until Charles’ passing in November 2022. The couple resided in Crystal, Indiana.

Faye was a people person and never met a stranger. She had a career as a receptionist, where she always had an opportunity to make a difference by greeting employees and customers with a warm smile and kind words. Faye worked for many years at Jasper Cabinet and Masterbrand, where she retired. She also worked as a part-time sales associate at JCPenney.

During her retirement, she focused on her hobbies of reading and crochet and never turned down a good shopping trip or a “sister-weekend”.  If you had the privilege to know Faye, you know that her family was her most prized possession and was happiest when everyone was together, which was often the case most weekends. Faye took great pride in the closeness of her family that she and Charles created.

She is survived by three daughters, Delana Street, Rita (Tony) Bohnert, Trish (Bob) Hammond and one son, Rick (Stacey) Emmons; she also leaves behind 12 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren; siblings, all in Illinois, include three sisters, Brenda (Terry) Pedigo, Sally (Gary) Cesar, Donna (Edgar) DeLaval and two brothers, Randy Tindall and Dennis (Lori) Tindall; several nieces and nephews.

Proceeding Faye in death is her husband, Charles Emmons; her parents; brother, Roger Tindall; one grandson and four great-grandchildren.

The family would like to give a very special “THANK YOU” to Faye and Charles’ wonderful neighbors who went above and beyond by always checking in on their well-being, providing meals or groceries and visiting with them. Our parents enjoyed your kindness, thoughtfulness, and the time you spent with them. 

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2023, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the home of Bob and Trish Hammond in “The Clubhouse” located at 2528 E State Road 56, Dubois, Indiana. 

Please come and celebrate her life the way our Mom would enjoy by being together, sharing stories, laughing and making memories the way she would have!
