Fae and I met while I was doing genealogical research on the Shepard family through a posting on the internet by David. Mac and I are distant cousins. We invited them to our home in Washington State on their way back from Arizona, sight-unseen. Who knew whether we, or they, were serial killers and it was a trap! Fae was an instant life-long friend, a talent that she possessed. John and I had the privilege of visiting them in their home in Saskatoon for their 50th anniversary and Mac and Fae, Lana and Gae made our 50th anniversary memorable by coming to Washington State to celebrate with us. Happy, happy memories of fun times with wonderful people.
A feet-on-the-ground, no-nonsense kind of woman, Fae enjoyed the "little" things in life that are the backbone of happiness: her music, her stories of her childhood days,her droll humorous outlook on life, her unconditional acceptance of the people around her, and the love and support she always gave her extended family and friends. Her care is evident in the beautiful children she raised and the love she left behind her.
Our condolences go to Mac and her family but we are so grateful for the cherished memories you have of this remarkable woman who was a true individual among people.
