Dr. Martha Lee Bozeman Fay "Bill"/"Billie"/"Willie"/Martha/ "Dr. Fay" -

 

SAVANNAH - Martha B. Fay, Ph.D., 96, died peacefully on December 19, 2009 at Hospice Savannah of multiple old-age related problems. Born on November 18, 1913 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas, she was the second child of the late Virgil Fackney Bozeman, Sr. and Ethel Lee O'Roark Bozeman. She was predeceased by her brother Virgil Fackney Bozeman, Jr. of Moline, IL and her sister Mary Frances "Prontz" Bozeman Janavitz of Pittsburgh, PA and later Tucson, AZ. She was a graduate of Moline High School (1931) and of Rockford College, Rockford, IL (1935). She received a Ph.D. in Zoology from University of Illinois with a specialty in genetics (1945). Her first professional positions were in the field of genetics. She married Dr. Richard William Fay (1912-1972) at the Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, PA on September 19, 1941. Richard, an entomologist in the U. S. Public Health Service in Jefferson City, MO (1942-44), was transferred to Savannah, GA in 1944. During their years in Savannah, their home in Gordonston (1954-2006), was the focal point where their three children Mary, Bill, and Libby grew and prospered. In 1954, Martha experienced four months of "single" motherhood, while her husband Richard served with the World Health Organization [WHO] in Egypt. From 1959 to 1961, the entire family moved to Geneva, Switzerland, when Richard was posted there. Martha survived using her 25-year old college French, while her children studied in French in the Swiss public schools. Returning to Savannah in the summer of 1961, she became the primary caregiver for her mother-in-law, Jeanne Louise Wuillemen Fay (1961), of her husband's aunt, Marguerite Adele Wuillemen Schultz (1961-67), and of her husband (1969-72). Dr. Fay taught Science at Armstrong Junior College (now Armstrong Atlantic State University) (1944-49). From 1949 to 1984, with the aid of her trusty housekeeper, Mrs. Inez Jackson, while her children were growing up, she was involved in many community activities beginning as a Brownie Scout leader and PTA memberships. She served on the boards of many organizations, including Girl Scouts of America, Family Counseling Center, Traveler's Aid, United Way of Savannah, American Association of University Women, League of Women Voters, and the Interfaith Interracial Committee. Dr. Fay was the Project Administrator of the Child Evaluation Center (1977-82). She was elected as a member of the Savannah Chatham County Board of Education (1975-86) and as its President (1987-91). She served on the Chatham County Board of Health (1984-2008). The last three years of her life were spent at Savannah Square Retirement Community in Savannah. Her older daughter oversaw this move, making her "cottage" into a pleasant residence for her mother. Her final move to Candler-St. Joseph Hospital occurred on December 13, 2009. Martha was an avid reader with wide interests ranging from mystery stories to genetics advances. Her Gordonston home garden contained 2 spectacular live oak trees, many tree camellias, and 60-year-old crape myrtles. She knitted many presents for family members. She led a very active social life. She received many honors during her long life, including her induction as the first female Diplomate as a Ph.D. Medical Geneticist of the American Society for Human Genetics (1982), the Clara Barton Sisterhood Award of the Unitarian Universalist Church (1993), and the Tony Buttimer Award from the Georgia Democratic Party (2002). In 2008, the crowning jewel was the renaming of the Chatham County Health Department after her. The honor was kept a complete secret from her until the actual ceremony, and when the curtain covering the wall of the building was pulled aside, she was totally surprised at both the honor and the praise of those attending. Martha gave many school, public, and church lectures on a variety of topics. As a board-certified medical geneticist, she insured that communications in matters of genetics counseling between physicians, patients, and their families resulted in patients achieving their full potential. Over the years, Martha hosted a variety of foreign visitors to Savannah - African, Asian, and European medical personnel, foreign exchange students, and Tibetan monks. Martha attended the Unitarian Universalist Church of Savannah from 1965 until her death, holding almost every position on the Board of Trustees except treasurer, and contributing to almost every committee of the church. She is survived by her three children, Mary Jacqueline Fay Nelson of Bowie, MD, William Martin "Bill" Fay of Athens, GA, and Elizabeth Adele "Libby" Fay of Lakewood, CO; by 3 grandsons, Richard William Fay, John Martin Fay, and Harrison Kimball Fay, all of Athens, GA; by her sister-in-law Mrs. Jeanne S. Bozeman of Naples, FL; by three nieces, Mrs. Anya Bozeman Taylor of Nyack, NY, Mrs. Carol Bozeman Hunt of Naples, FL, and Mrs. Gloria Janavitz of Pittsburgh, PA; and by two nephews, Rev. Virgil Fackney Bozeman III of Augusta, ME and Mr. David Bozeman of Willowbrook, IL. A private graveside service will be held at Forest Lawn Cemetery. A public memorial service will follow at 1:00 PM on January 23, 2010 at the First African Baptist Church, 23 Montgomery Street, Savannah, GA. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to The Unitarian Universalist Church of Savannah, Hospice Savannah, The Girl Scout Council of Savannah, or Armstrong Atlantic State University Foundation for scholarships.
