"The Classroom on Wheels"

Minnie Robinson and Elmer Bennett were blessed with a baby girl on October 29, 1957.  A beautiful little girl named Faye Evelyn.  Faye would grow up to be a smiling, talkative, caring child who never met a stranger.  Faye would grow up to be a smiling, talkative, caring lady who loved people and always did what she could to help others.

Faye attended the public schools of Morehouse Parish.  Even as a young girl, Faye was always surrounded by children.  They knew they could talk with her about anything.  She would  instruct them in the ways of life, the pitfalls they would encounter, and the joys they would experience.  "But, they had to listen!"  

Because of her love, Faye became a bus driver for the Morehouse Parish School System.  For over thirty years, Faye Bennett used her bus to mold lives.  She would be the first person children saw in the morning and the last one they would see in the evening. Because of this, her bus became "A Classroom on Wheels."

Faye doted on her grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with them.  She loved to shop.  She enjoyed spending quality time with them while visiting local stores and those in cities she visited. When she wasn't shopping, she divided her time between Wheel of Fortune and Tyler Perry movies.

On February 11, 2026, Faye Evelyn Bennett joined her parents, her brothers,  Elmer and Arthur, and her beloved son Kinon in a land far from here.  Children who had the good fortune to ride her bus will always remember the words of wisdom she shared with them in her "Classroom on Wheels."

She leaves to cherish her memory: her grateful daughter, Kalie Bennett, her grandchildren, her sister, Velma Braggs, nieces, nephews, cousins, and so many friends.  Thousands of children will always remember their first Classroom on Wheels, and the extraordinary teacher they called, "Miss Faye."
