Faye was also an excellent watercol- or artist, a hobby which she developed in Florence and con- tinued with passion to the end of her life. Upon retirement, Faye and Ernie moved to Springfield, Ore., where they avidly enjoyed University of Oregon sporting events. After Ernie’s death in 1999, Faye moved to Salem and con- tinued a busy social life at Hidden Lakes active living res- idence.
