Born May 26, 1910, in the family farmhouse on Broad Run Dairy Rd., Dover Township, she was a daughter of the late Luther and Salome Burky Miller. Fay attended Kent State Normal College (now Kent State University), and attained her teacher�(TM)s certificate. She then embarked on a life-long career in education beginning in a one-room schoolhouse teaching eight grades. Fay taught at Bolivar Elementary School, and then on to Dover High School where she taught Mathematics and Algebra. She moved again to the elementary level, teaching at Dover Avenue School. Fay also tutored a number of students on an individual basis. She made many friends, and had very fond memories of her years as a teacher. Former students often visited her in the nursing home, which was of great pleasure to Fay.

She was a member of St. John�(TM)s United Church of Christ in Dover, where she served on Church Council, taught Sunday School and belonged to the Beacon Light Class. Additionally, Fay served as a Den Mother for Cub Scouts, as her husband, Adrian, was a Boy Scout leader at St. John�(TM)s.
