Fay was born in Ontario and moved west when she was 15, where she fell in love with Mel and stayed by his side for the next 65 years. As the matriarch of an ever growing family, she ensured that everyone was welcomed, accepted and loved. She was a voracious reader who instilled a love of reading, lifelong learning and creativity in all. Living life by the Golden Rule, combined with gentle guidance, encouragement and compassion, Fay embraced her everchanging roles in life. From home maker, hobby farmer, motel owner/operator, real estate agent to caregiver, she worked hard without complaint. She fulfilled her personal passion with Fay’s Porcelain Dolls, when she became an entrepreneur, teacher, creator of exquisite dolls, and lifelong friend to her students. Despite failing health, Fay continued learning, laughing and loving until her peaceful passing.
