Zillah "Faye" Kerrick

Zillah "Faye" Kerrick, 81, of Wake Forest, North Carolina went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on November 3, 2024. Faye was born on December 20, 1942, in Annandale, VA to the late Hinton and Alice Duffer Harris. She married Glenwood E. Kerrick on July 25, 1963, after he was honorably discharged from the Navy. They were married for 55 years and had three children.

Faye is survived by her daughter, Deborah (Timothy) Ratcliffe, her son, Matthew (Londereé) Kerrick, daughter, Danielle (Richard) Bennett; her grandchildren Cason, Kathryn, Ryan, Emily and Connor; and her brother, Franklin E. Harris (Virginia). She is predeceased by her husband, Glenwood E. Kerrick, her brothers, Hinton H. Harris, Jr. and Roland T. Harris, and her parents, Alice Harris and Hinton H. Harris, Sr.

Faye worked for the Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, as a secretary in her first years of her career. While her children were school age, she worked as a bus driver for Calvary Christian School and Immanuel Christian School in Virginia. Later, she worked as a Logistics Support officer for the CIA until she retired in 2002. After her retirement, she and Glenwood moved to Wake Forest, NC where they have resided for the past 19 years.

While living in Virginia, Faye was active in her church, Calvary Road Baptist Church. After she and Glenwood moved to North Carolina, she went to Neuse Baptist Church, where she faithfully attended and served.

Faye's heart was for missions, and she supported many missionary families. She also gave to charities that would further the gospel of Jesus Christ. She would tell everyone she met about Jesus and invite them to church. It was her passion that everyone would know God as their personal Savior.

Her Memorial Service will be held in Wake Forest, NC at Neuse Baptist Church at 10 a.m. on December 7, 2024. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations may be made in memory of Faye Kerrick to Neuse Baptist Church 4444 Louisbury Rd, Wake Forest, NC 27587.
