RUDYARD KIPLING FAY,
81 of Kingston, went to be with his Lord Friday, May 29, 2020 in Ascension St. Mary’s Hospital, Saginaw. He was born August 17, 1938 in Columbus, Ohio to Charles and Marie (Bolin) Fay. He married Edith “Edie” Ann Hynes August 17, 1957 in Breckenridge.
Rudyard graduated from high school in Columbus, OH. He attended Bible College in Owosso and while studying there, he met Edie. Rudyard became the pastor of Pilgrim Holiness Church in Big Rapids in 1959 and throughout the years, served as a pastor in various Wesleyan churches. For sixteen years, he was the pastor in the Kingston Wesleyan Church. Rudyard was fond of the time spent with the men’s breakfast group. Strong and determined in their faith, he and Edie once went on a six country missionary trip to the Orient. Rudyard loved and continually prayed for his family, especially his beloved grandchildren. He enjoyed fresh air and being outdoors so much that he took great pleasure in yard work. Rudyard’s favorite and life long hobby was miniature electric trains. He had a large collection of miniatures of which he was proud to show.
Rudyard is survived by his daughter, Pam (Bill) Jozwiak of Waterford; grandchildren: Tara (Jasson) Eagle, Christina (David Brown) Fay, Corin Lovelace, Alicia Jozwiak, Jeff (Kim) Rinehart; twelve great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Edie; son, Michael Fay; great grandson, Joseph; sister, Ruth Foster.
