Hedia "Faye" Cobb

Hedia "Faye" Cobb, 79, of Kingsport, went to the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, April 15, 2014, after an automobile accident. The accident, on May 29, 2013, also claimed the life of her husband, Jack Cobb who passed away five days later. Faye fought a good fight and kept her faith but weakened from the long hard battle she endured until she departed to be with Jesus. She was a loving mother, nana and wife.
