March 3, 1931 — February 3, 2025

Murphy, NC

Ella Faye Emily Beaver of Murphy, North Carolina, age 93, went home to be with her Lord at her home on February 3, 2025. She was born on March 3, 1931 to the late Lewis Napoleon Chastain and Ira Samantha Stalcup Chastain in Cherokee, County, North Carolina. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Kenneth Oran Beaver; daughter, Shirley Ann Allen; sister Frankie Lee Burnett and great great grand daughter; Vivian Bea Truett.

Ella Faye truly loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She served her Lord and others as a member of the Old Fashioned Baptist Church in Murphy, North Carolina. The other loves in her life were her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. She was devoted to her family. She truly enjoyed the pleasure brought to her by the beautiful flowers she lovingly planted and tended. As an avid reader, she was always gaining new insights and knowledge on many subjects.
