Nanny Faye Mourns Devastating Loss

Chrisley Knows Best had spunk thanks to Nanny Faye Chrisley. Being the matriarch of the family, she was witty, silly, and never took herself too seriously. More so, Faye had no problem setting any and everyone straight while trying new things. She was also incredibly sneaky, getting into trouble here, there, and everywhere which is why she was such a fan-favorite. The show lasted even after Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to a collective nineteen years behind bars. Todd was still shaking his head at his mother but she never minded because she was living her best life.

Sadly, she was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2021. She had credited her daughter-in-law, Julie with helping her during that difficult time. Fortunately, she is now in remission which has been a blessing. She even spent the holidays with Todd in 2023 as she had gone to Florida to see friends. Therefore, she was not going to miss out on the tradition of seeing her son for Thanksgiving:

“We have never been apart. He’s 54 years old and we have never been away at Thanksgiving.”

Despite all that has gone on, she has kept her chin up but now, Nanny Faye has suffered a tragic loss. It was shared that her sweet pup, Miley, had passed away.
