Faith Elizabeth Vaughn-McKinney (January 9, 1937 - September 9, 2005)

Faith Elizabeth Vaughn-McKinney (nee Nelson) was born on January 9, 1937 to Margaret and William Nelson in New Castle, Pennsylvania.  She journeyed home to be with the Lord on September 9, 2005.  Her mother, father and son Clayton Vaughn preceded her in death.  Faith lived every moment of her life to the fullest.  She thoroughly enjoyed people and people enjoyed her.  The various positions she held throughout her life reflected both her love of people and her love of life.  Her most recent occupation in furniture sales at Kaufmanns will never be forgotten.  She set records in the department that were hard to beat!  Her father used to say "She could sell ice boxes to Eskimos and a crippled cricket a crutch."  It was a trait she inherited from him.  Miss Faith's (as she was known to many) home was always open to family and friends.  Many a picnic was held in the backyard, many a holiday and birthday were celebrated and just plain old get-togethers brought joy to the attendees as well as to the hostess.  Those left to cherish memories of Faith include daughter, Estella (Percy) Vaughn-Nichols;  brothers, Bobby (Emma) Nelson and Roger (Brenda) Nelson; sisters, Ina (George) Coates, Mattie Scales and Charity Knox-Nelson; eight grandchildren;  two great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, other loving relatives and friends.
