GREENBRIER — Erma Faye Hall Hooten,
of Greenbrier, passed away on October 20, 2023. Faye lived on this earth 90 years, 9 months, and 23 days, and now rests comfortably in the arms of God. Faye was born in Damascus, Ark., on December 27, 1932. Early in her life, her family moved into the Guy community, where she lived until she graduated from high school. Faye married and started a family with Clark Hooten. Their marriage was blessed many times, as Faye gave birth to 13 children. Faye labored continually, providing for her husband and children by making home more than just a place. Once her children were older, Faye worked outside of the home in various roles. She retired as an Elementary School lunch baker; again, caring for children. She loved to cook desserts and her homemade rolls were a family favorite. Faye loved to sew, and made many clothes, crafts, and Raggedy Ann dolls for her grandkids. Faye served our God faithfully as a Preacher’s wife, Elder’s wife and as a Christian. All her children found great success in life from the example she set as a devoted wife, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and most of all, mother.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 69 years, Clark E. Hooten; parents, Daniel Elmer and Verlie Presley Hall; her brothers, J.D., Glenn, and Doyce Hall; her sisters, Valdaree Hall Davis and Robbie Zell Hall Hazel; one grandson, Sammy Gilbert.
She is survived by one sister, Carolyn (Tommy) Winberry; and thirteen children: Carol (Alan Gilbert) Hooten of Minneapolis, Minn., Chrys (Glen) Boyd of Sugarland, Texas, Timothy (Mary Jo) Hooten of Quitman, Ark., Sheila Hooten of Canyon Lake, Texas, Reggie (Barb) Hooten of Fargo N.D., Gwen (John) Slater of Watkins, Colo., Terra (Dr. George) Fidone of Lufkin, Texas, Greg (Gwen) Hooten of Guy, Ark., Regina (Keivan) Keshvari of Austin, Texas, Terry (Amy) Hooten of Plant City, Fla., Melisa (Tri) Le of New Braunfels, Texas, Nick Hooten of League City, Texas, Chandra Hooten of Canyon Lake, Texas; thirty-two grandchildren, many more great-grandchildren, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
