Devoted mother, caring wife Naioma Faye Compton died unexpectedly Monday, September 3, after suffering a massive stroke at her Ellisville Missouri home. She was 82.
Faye embarked on a journalism career as a writer, editor, and photographer in her native Texas after her marriage to Clark Compton in 1958, but retired after the birth of the first of her three children. Several years later, she resumed her journalism career. She created a public relations/advertising business, Compton & Compton, which she operated from her home with her husband, Clark Compton, a former several-term Ellisville alderman and long-time teacher in the business school of the University of Missouri, St. Louis.
Mrs. Compton was reared in Fairfield, TX, where she graduated from high school. She earned her journalism degree from the University of Houston in Houston, TX.
She and her husband first made their home in Denton, TX, while Clark was earning his degree in business at North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas) and where their first child, daughter Cameron Anne, was born. They later lived in Dallas, TX, where he was employed for several years. They moved to Wichita, KS, and Florence, AL, before settling in the St. Louis area.
The Comptons celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in June, 2018.
Mrs. Compton is survived by her husband Clark; daughters Cameron Tow (Joe) of St. Louis, and Cathi Chandler (J.C.)
of Maryland Heights; son, Rob Compton (Megan) of Ellisville; sisters Frances Carroll (Don) of Fairfield, and Betty Tinsley (Richard) of Houston; granddaughters Andrea Turner, Kelsey Aulgur, Tara Chandler, and grandson Keith Compton, and a great-granddaughter, Zoe Turner, all of Ellisville.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Stone, and a brother, Rance Stone, all of Fairfield.
A celebration of her life will be at 1 - 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Community Christian Church (623 Meramec Station Road, Manchester, MO 63021). Burial will be in the Compton plot of the historic Dew Cemetery in Dew, TX.
