Faith Lovelace
1965 - 2024
“You never know which Faith is going to show up”, a quote often made by her mother, LaVerne. Faith did not mask her emotions. You may meet a charming and entertaining Faith or a distant and dismissive Faith. Throughout her life, Faith kept us guessing, and in death, Faith did not disappoint — as she left us in shock, amazement, and with numerous questions.
While her father was stationed at Army base Fort Cavazos, formerly known as Fort Hood, in Killeen, Texas, on May 18, 1965, Faith Lovelace was born to Booker Lovelace and LaVerne Lovelace (McKesson). Faith attended Spiro Public Schools, Spiro, OK, before completing her studies in education at the University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond, OK, and obtaining her graduate degree at Texas Women’s University, Denton, TX.
Faith, also an Army veteran, loved learning and worked as a licensed school psychologist. Known for her great attention to detail, Faith was generous and also a giver— Faith enjoyed giving her “colorful” insight and life advice. Faith, a self-proclaimed, “Hoelogist” (one who is an expert in studying the behavior of a whore), would eagerly share her relationship advice with her much loved nieces and nephews, especially while treating them to a drink or cigar at the bar or a meal at Cracker Barrel.
With her signature quote, “F#!% the BS”, Faith, preferred a life of solitude. After her divorce, Faith would quote the show, Love Connection, saying, “l will stay on my own, Chuck.” followed by, “I can do bad by myself.”
Faith was preceded in death by her parents and elder brother, Douglas. Faith leaves siblings Anthony McKesson, Fort Smith, AR; Yvonne Eubanks, Mansfield, TX; Grace Lovelace, Spiro, OK; April (Joseph) Thomas, Mansfield, TX and Aljon Lovelace, Arlington, TX, along with her nieces and nephews to mourn and continue to share her memory.
Nothing can compare to the wit she had !! She could light a smile on your face in a matter of seconds!! I keep playing her voice in the back of my head to remind me if I have Faith everything will be okay!!!!! - Craig Eubanks

Faith was a client and friend of mine. When we talked, we had very interesting and real conversations. We were able to keep it 100 between us at all times. I will miss that. I send my prayers and condolences to Faith and her family. She knew Jesus and now he has ushered her into his loving arms. - Randall Miller
My dear sweet niece, Faith was a beautiful soul and will always hold a special place in my heart. Gone to soon but will never ever be forgotten. We love you but God loves you more my Angel rest in peace and love. - Auntie LaVerne
Our sincere prayers & love extended to the entire family & friends of this precious soul. Faith will be forever loved and missed by all that had the privilege of sharing heartfelt memories with her.
Until the great day of awakening rest well… - The Pearsons
Faith was the type of person either she liked you or she didn’t. She always kept it 100% ! Well I guess I was doing something right because she loved me and my children. We would visit her when she lived in Texas and always had a wonderful time. We will always love Faith and will miss her dearly. - Ressie
You will truly be missed. It was such joy for me to get to know you and all of your lovely family. Love you and please tell your brother we're still missing him. R.I.L. Love forever from the The Blues boy bo and family. - Vann Boardingham
Memories of Faith's smile, laughter, caring heart and questionable debating (lol) will forever be cherished. - Dana Jones
When I met the Lovelace family and one by one each of them that I met was more different than the next and Faith did not disappoint. I often thought to myself that I'm glad I know a woman like Faith because she always provided a different perspective on every situation. She was one in a quadrillion!! - Daphne Brown
I would like to give my deepest condolences and prayers to the Lovelace family. - Marlin Brown
