Then the big, big, move came to Camrose, oh wow the big city, what would she ever do in Camrose? Well, stayed home with the boys and babysat. When the boys started school, it was time to do something.

This employment lasted 22 years which she enjoyed everyday. She couldn't sit at home so found employment at Pioneer Machine & Crane Co. for six years. One morning she woke up and decided it was time to retire. Faye loved the outdoors and spent many weekends camping. She also enjoyed golf, curling and bowling.
