She met and married Don McCasland and they had three children. Faye later returned to Yakima to be near family.

Faye worked for 20 years at the Union Gospel Mission. Working for the Mission was one of the highlights of her life and she loved feeling she was making a difference in the lives of people who needed help.

Faye was a kind and thoughtful person and was loved by all who met her. In her own quiet way, she had a deep faith in God and felt He helped her through difficult times in her life. She taught her children to have that same faith in God.

For the last seven years she had lived at Ponderosa Retirement Center. She loved her friends and the caring Staff there.
