Carolyn Faye Gordon Kimble

Carolyn Faye Gordon Kimble, age 77, of Round Oak, passed away Friday, April 29, 2016, at her residence.

Faye Kimble was born on October 28, 1937, in Round Oak, Ga. Her parents were the late Mercer Granville “Kit” Gordon and Emma Lee Goodman Gordon. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, A.W. Gordon, Danny Gordon and Mercer Gordon.

Faye worked at the Monticello Manufacturing Company for about 25 years. She retired from the Macon Telegraph where she delivered the paper for almost 25 years, and hardly missed a day.
