Lina Faye Ray, 80, of Bryant, Alabama, passed away on Sunday morning, October 25, 2026.

Faye was born on September 6, 1946, in Trenton, Georgia, to the late Wilburn and Hazel West Stone. A loving mother, stepmother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister, Faye had a heart as big as her love for her family. She was a wonderful lady who loved deeply, gave generously, and always made those around her feel special.

Faye was a hardworking woman throughout much of her life who took great pride in caring for those she loved. She was also an excellent cook, and her family especially enjoyed her fried sweet potatoes, a favorite that will always bring back fond memories of time spent together. Above all, Faye treasured her family, and the love she shared with them will remain a lasting part of her legacy.

In addition to her parents, Faye was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Carroll Ray; brothers, Charles Stone and Hershel Stone; sister, Linda Graham; and son-in-law, Lynvil Case.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, April (Barry) Nifong, Greg (Christy) Smith, and Michelle Case; brother, Tim (Tammy) Stone; grandchildren, Gabrielle Nifong, Elijah Nifong, Kayla (Lucas) Barron, and Kendra (Keith) Mahan; nine great-grandchildren; and a host of extended family members and friends.
