Faye Tiencken Obituary

Faye Rogers Tiencken Vashon Island, WA - Faye Rogers Tiencken died May 5, 2017 at Vashon Community Care on Vashon Island, WA. Her graveside service will be held Saturday, May 27 in St. Paul's Cemetery, 510 McCants Drive, Mt. Pleasant, SC at 4:00 p.m. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr Inc., Downtown Chapel. Elsie Faye Rogers was born on July 28, 1926 in Ridgeville, SC to the late Evelyn Hargrove Rogers and Claude Rogers. She was a country girl who loved to ride horses, was athletic, and wonderfully strong-willed. Faye graduated from Stetson University in DeLand, FL where she majored in psychology and was a member of Pi Beta Phi Sorority. After college, she returned home and taught school, then worked as a secretary until she met the love of her life, Henry Edward Tiencken. They were married in November of 1952 and had three children, Jane, Charlotte and Buzzy. She and "Tink" lived in Hobcaw Point, Mt. Pleasant and in old Mt. Pleasant until his death in 1996. Faye was an active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Her faith and her family were the most important things in her life. She had a wicked sense of humor and loved people. She especially loved shopping for shoes with her best friends, Naomi Kennedy and her sister Charlotte Rogers. She adored her home town of Charleston. In 2009 she made the decision to move to Vashon Community Care (VCC) on Vashon Island, Washington to be closer to her daughter, Charlotte. She was loved by the staff at the VCC and will be missed. They called her their "Steel Magnolia". Faye is survived by her children: Jane Tiencken Mengel (Bill), Charlotte Marie Tiencken (Bill West) and Henry "Buzzy" Edward Tiencken, Jr. (Josie); her siblings: Claude A. Rogers, Charlotte R. Rogers, and R. Kent Rogers; her grandchildren: Corie Tiencken, Andrew Mengel and John Mengel; and many nieces and nephews. Memorials may be made in her honor to St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 604 Pitt Street, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 or to Vashon Community Care, 15333 Vashon Highway SW, Vashon, WA 98070.

Sadden to hear of Mrs. Faye's passing. But fond memories of her when living in Hobcaw and at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. She and Mr. Eddie were especially nice to me during a dark time in my life. They will always hold a special place in my heart. May God bless her family as you grieve.
God Bless, Keith Hutto

Buzzy, Charlotte, and Jane

After reading your Mom's obituary today, I was reminded of so many beautiful memories of her and of your family. We spent many happy times at your home where she was such a fun and gracious hostess. She took me shopping, kept the girls for us those first few days being here when things were so unsettling. We always looked forward to being invited out to diner with your folks.

She was a very special friend and a great example to me of a mom who put her family first. I loved her dearly. She loved each of you and was proud of all you accomplished. She is now with her Lord and will be free from her earthly pain and will continue to watch over each of you, her family.

Our plans now are to be at the grave side service on May 27.

Love to you all, Susan

Dear Jane, Charlotte, & Buzzy,
I have the happiest of memories with your family at your pool in Hobcaw! Uncle Tink would fire up the grill and it was always so much fun! Aunt Faye and Tink were some of the most wonderful people I knew. I lost my mom two years ago and I always recall some special moments to help me through it. Your mom will truly be missed, but just close your eyes and see that lovely face. May God bless you and your families always. Much love, Mary Kennedy

My condolences and love to Jane, Charlotte and Buzzy on the death of your mother. She was the most welcoming and gracious hostess, so devoted to your dad and fiercely in love with life. I will always remember her in Hobcaw, with Pudd'n and Summer trailing her every move. She leaves you with the strength of character that both your parents gave you and with a lifetime of precious memories. Here's to Faye and a life will lived. Nan

Jane, Charlotte, Buzzy, so, so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful mother. I always remember your mother having a smile on her face and her wise and fun, spirited ways. She was always so kind to me, welcoming me into your home as one of her own. (I remember she even had a toothbrush in the bathroom drawer so I knew it was okay for me to spend the night with Jane whenever I wanted.) I remember spending easy days at the pool with friends and family. She was like a second mom and another "great friend". I am very disappointed that I will not be present at her service because I have already scheduled an out of town trip with family. God bless you all and remember you will all be in my prayers as you move forward. Love, Joyce.

Jane,Charlotte and Buzzy:

Please accept my sincerest sympathy on the passing of your dear mother. She was truly a lovely lady. In fact, I always thought that you were blessed with two wonderful parents: I very much liked and respected your father and mother.

God bless all of you.
