Sandra Diane Faught

She was a graduate of Samford University, where she earned her degree in Registered Nursing. She then worked for UAB in OB/GYN surgery, Baptist Medical Center Princeton in open heart surgery, labor and delivery and the NICU, Fairhaven Nursing Home as Director of Nursing and St. Martin’s in the Pines as Director of Nursing. She was highly regarded by all doctors she worked with as one of the best nurses they ever had the honor of witnessing.

Mrs. Faught was preceded in death by her brother, David Wade, her mother Mary Helen Wade, and her father Ernest L. Wade. She is survived by her children; Terri Nowak (John), Brian Faught (Katie), Carlos Faught (Christina), Laura Tidwell (Mike); brother, Randall Wade (Linda); grandchildren, Johnathon Nowak (Stacy), Lauren Bearden (Adam), Katy Knauss (Mark), Joshua Faught (Mandy), David Miller (Taylor), Kaitlin Parsons (Jacob), Hollie Knight, Michael Tidwell, Kellen Faught; great grandchildren, Adelaide Nowak, Stirling Nowak, Savannah Nowak, Lily Faught and Walt Bearden.

Diane enjoyed sewing, cooking and watching old movies, especially Shirley Temple. She was the most kind-hearted generous person that we knew. She loved her kids and her grandchildren with everything she had. She would, and did at times, give you the shirt off her back. She always made sure that her kids and grandchildren had what they needed and were doing well. Although, we are heartbroken and missing her, we are also rejoicing that her battle with Dementia is over and that she is in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior, receiving all of His glorious love.
