Mrs. Antee was born on April 28, 1923 to Lee Skurlock and Vendla (Dahl) Skurlock in Llano, Texas.

On September 5, 1958 she married Phillip Antee in Lovington, New Mexico. They moved to Artesia in 1963 from Texas.

Faye was a cook and caregiver for many years, always giving love and joy to all she met. Many know her as the lady who cooked the six for a dollar hamburgers at the Flair on Main Street. She was a volunteer with the Hospital Auxiliary as a Pink Lady, active in the Senior
Center as a line dancer and enjoyed opening up the senior music on Saturday night in the cafeteria.

Antee loved spending time with her family and friends every chance she got. She had a heart for service and enjoyed helping other residents at San Pedro and was known to greet many new residents with open arms and a smile. She was known by many as Auntie Faye and Mother Hen due to her heart of gold, her compassion and willingness to help and always having a hand to hold.

She was loved by many and cherished by her family. She is survived by her daughters Vanda Lockhart ( Fernando), Deloris Mansell (James), Shirley Simmons (Leon) and Wilma Brannan (J.D.) all of Artesia, Janie Urban of Odessa, TX, and Frankie Priest (Earl) of Carlsbad, N.M.; sons Melvin Mosley and Lonnie Pierce of Odessa, Texas, and Richard Pierce of Artesia, 15 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, 4 great-great-grandchildren, and special friend and Roommate, Diane Strickland.
