Mildred Faye Breuer's Obituary
Mildred “Faye” (Gilstrap/Stokes) Breuer went to her eternal home with her Lord and Savior, December 16, 2021, at the age of 86. She was born October 11, 1934, to Warren Debs Gilstrap and Ruby (Stephens) Gilstrap, the second of seven children. Faye graduated the class of ’52 at Webster High School and went on to study Aeronautical Engineering at Tulsa University. Faye was born with an adventurer’s heart. She learned to fly at a very young age and, soon after, bought her first plane with the help of her father. She competed in the transcontintel air-race , dubbed the Powder Puff Derby, by Will Rogers. She was noticed by the U.S. Space program but declined an invitation to train as an astronaut. Later, she picked up golf and won many championships at various golf clubs. She loved tennis, skiing, and swimming in the oceans around the world. She was a great businesswoman and opened her own brokerage firms around the U.S. She had a unique ability to make everyone feel special. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Breuer, in 2011. She is survived by her daughters, Delisa (husband Tony) Mayer, Kelly (husband Rick) Engdahl; and son, Tim Breuer; her grandchildren Alexandra, Justin, Nicholas, Lucas and Landon; her sisters, Rita Miller and Phyllis Martin; brothers, Perry Gilstrap and Wayne Gilstrap; and a host of other family and friends. “He who hears my word and believes in him who sent me…has passed from death into life.” (John 5:24)
