They had three children, Leonard Eugene Gene Draper, Cynthia Faye Wells and Glenda Gayle Torres, who grew up in Waco and Houston, Texas. After Leonard’s untimely death in a car accident, she again met her high school boyfriend, Edwin Neumann, and they were married for over twelve years, alternating houses between Waco and Pearland, Texas. Upon Edwin’s death, she moved to Pearland, Texas where she had many friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Thelma Scott; two adoring husbands, Leonard Edwin Draper and Edwin Neumann; her sister, Lynette Humes; and her beloved son, Leonard Eugene Gene Draper. Faye is survived by her daughters, Mrs. Joe Cynthia Wells of Pearland, Texas and Mrs. Hector Glenda Torres of Dunedin, Florida; a step-daughter, Carolyn Williams of Waco, Texas; daughter-in-law Barbara Draper of New Braunsfels, Texas and her sister Syble Jermstad of Riesel, Texas.
