Obituary For Fay Bowen Miles

Born on May 24th, 1933 in Elizabeth, NJ, and entered into rest on November 22nd, 2016 in Fremont, CA at the age of 83. Survived by her daughters: Valerie Finney (Dennis) of Springfield, VA, Amy Wulf of Ponte Vedra, FL, Nancy Commons (Vance) of Manteca, CA, Paulette Goldfisher (Alastair) of Fremont, CA, and Anne Schaeffer of Martinez, CA; son Craig Miles of Morro Bay, CA; grandchildren: Ashley (Jason), Megan, Lisa, Gillian, Wesley, Gavin, Reese, and Garrett; and sisters: Anne Spillane of Joshua Tree, CA, and Susan Garland (Roger) of Fountain Valley, CA. Preceded in death by her husband Bobby Miles in 1996.

Fay Bowen Miles, as a mother of six and a teacher for the Fremont Unified School District for 32 years, brought joy to many children’s lives. Fay will be remembered for her kindness to students, love for socializing with friends, and for how she gave gifts as tokens of her affection. She enjoyed playing games and telling jokes. Most of all she loved teaching her many students and spending quality time with her family and friends. Spending time with her eight grandchildren brought her so much pleasure and pride. The happy times we had with Fay will always be in our memories. We feel so fortunate to have had her in our lives as our mom, friend, and teacher.

Funeral Service will be held on Friday, December 2nd, 4pm at Centerville Presbyterian Church, 4360 Central Ave., Fremont, CA 94536. Burial will be held on Monday, December 5th, 10am at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the City of Hope.

    Sending much love to Fay's children and their families, from Barbara (Bobbi Del Pino) Ebert and family. Fay was the funny, charming heart of this big, whacky (in a good way!) Miles clan. It was always such a lively and endlessly entertaining experience just walking through the front door and into that bustling, busy house on Troy! Great memories I will always cherish.
