She was an officer and active participant in the Ladies’ Altar and Rosary Society, helping cook meals for weddings, funerals, fundraisers, and other special events. She enjoyed singing with the radio, dancing, reading, gardening, and playing cards. Family or visitors to the home could always count on a hot cup of coffee and a hearty meal. The weekly family treats were the ten loaves of bread and cinnamon rolls or doughnuts she baked. She is preceded in death by her parents, Mike and Clara Schmitt Franzen; her sisters, Marcella Franzen Blong, Anna Laura Franzen Leichtnam, Clarene Franzen Humpal, Lorrena Franzen Bohr; her brothers, Albert Franzen, Leo Franzen, and Duane Franzen; her former husband John Watenpaugh Fay, and daughters Kathy Sue Fay and Diane Marie Fay.

Her family thanks the good care of Cobblestone Court Assisted Living in Sumner, Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community in Waverly, Dr. Daoud and the dedicated staff at Davita Dialysis Centers in Waverly and West Union, and St. Croix Hospice, Charles City.
