A funeral will be at 11 a m. Fri­
day, Nov. 9 in Ross Hollywood
Chapel for Faye Evelyn Lyday,
who died Thursday, Nov 1,2001,
at age 75.
Lyday was bom on Dec. 23,
1925 in Muskogee, Okla. She was
part Native American, belonging
to the Creek Indian Tribe, one of
the Five Civilized Tribes in Okla­
homa. She was raised in the sur­
rounding communities of Taft,
Okla., and attended Booker T.
Washington High School in Tulsa,
Okla.
She followed her sister and
moved to Portland in 1948, fur­
thering her education at Portland
State College. She was interested
in the field of nursing and began
to raise a family.
Although she grew up in an
orphanage and a series of foster
homes, she emerged with definite
leadership qualities.
Out of her own adversity, and
as a single mother raising five
children, grew the knowledge she
needed to successfully serve as
Acting Coordinator for the Social
Environm ent Departm ent o f
Model Cities in 1969. O f the 29
projects the agency operated in
Portland, 15 were evolved by her
department.

dent o f the Aid to Dependent
C hildren
A ssociation
of
Multnomah County, an associa­
tion formed to work for and reform
welfare rights.
The Model Cities comprehen­
sive Child Care Program was the
direct outgrowth o f the child care
program instituted by the asso­
ciation. The Emergency Fund
available to Model Cities residents
is an outgrowth of a Loan fund
she organized as President o f the
ADC group. She worked to bring
about a consumer protection
agency in the Model Cities neigh­
borhood, and it was her work with
Stella Maris House that was in­
strumental in a proposal she wrote
resulting in the Youth Opportu­
nity School.
Cherishing her role as mother,
her community involvement also
included the Parent Teachers As­
sociation, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts,
Little League, 4-H Clubs, and
