Fayette Lillian (Coffey) Considine

November 7, 1935 — March 20, 2021

Fayette (Faye) Considine (nee Coffey) (affectionately called Toots by her siblings), passed away peacefully at home in Crest Hill, IL surrounded by her children, several grandchildren and great grandchildren on March 20, 2021. She was born on November 7,1935 in Chicago, IL to John and Lelia (nee Collier) Coffey.

Faye married the love of her life John J. Considine in Chicago, IL in 1953. They had been inseparable since the summer of their eighth grade. Faye grew up in Chicago, IL and graduated from Manley High School in Chicago as Valedictorian, Vice President of her Senior class, Business Manager of the Manley Times Newspaper and played volleyball.

She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother that treasured her family and was beloved by all. She was always generous with her time, talents and resources. She was devoted to her faith and lived it fully every day through her actions. She was the quintessential mother who taught us all how to be independent, self-sufficient and about unconditional love. She has been the ultimate role-model for her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Faye was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 66 years, John J. Considine of Crest Hill, IL; her sisters Amarylis (the late Orville) Poor of Peoria, Illinois and Janice Austin of California, her brothers John (the late Helen and Joan) Coffey of Carlsbad, CA, and Patrick (Lola) Coffey of Marana, Arizona.
