Nettie L. Fausto

January 13, 1932 ~ November 6, 2020

Nettie L Fausto, 88, passed away peacefully at her home on November 6, 2020 surrounded by her family.

Nettie was born on January 13, 1932, in Ogden, the daughter of Earl and Lovina Brown Spencer.  She was the youngest of four siblings. Nettie married Sgt. Major Thomas Fausto on October 8, 1948 and had three children Jule Lovina Fausto, Micky Jay Fausto and Tony Chris Fausto; three grandchildren Candice Nelson, Jason Thomas Fausto and Gage Ray Fausto; and five great-grandchildren Micky Fausto, Nevaeh Fausto, Brennon Fausto, Sadie Fausto and Hunter Fausto.

Nettie was raised in Roy, Utah and was a devout Catholic, proudly serving as president of the League of the Sacred Heart. She volunteered and administered during funeral Masses to those who were in need; she attended weekly Bible study and faithfully attended both St. Joseph and St. James the Just Catholic Churches.  She held her beliefs true and welcomed all into her heart and prayers. She enjoyed sail boating and travel with her son and enjoyed crocheting, sewing and talking with her daughter. She always looked forward to every holiday and every birthday, making everyone feel special by thoughtfully preparing and spending time with her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents Lovina Brown and Earl Hyrum Spencer; her husband of 55 years Thomas Fausto; her son Micky Jay Fausto; sister Maurine Barnum; and brothers John Paul Spencer, Norman Spencer and Sheldon Spencer.

A funeral Mass was celebrated November 12, 2020 at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Interment was at the Roy Utah Cemetery.

Special thanks and gratitude to Tony Fausto, who stayed tirelessly to care for his mother; and to Canyon Home Care and Hospice for helping to care for Nettie with love, skill, knowledge and generosity.
