Fay cheered on the Packers, Brewers, Bucks, Badgers and Golden Eagles and enjoyed many happy family vacations fishing on Pioneer Lake. With a loving and generous heart, she enjoyed cooking for her family on holidays. Fay was endlessly patient and never critical. She loved shopping with her granddaughters - her timeless style and ability to find the best deals will be fondly remembered.
