After graduation from Fairmont High School, the family moved to Atlantic, Iowa where she went to work for the Farm Bureau Office and spent time working in the Auditor’s Office and Superintendent of Schools. One of her duties was to construct a map of the county with all resident locations, children in the homes, and their ages for the Farm Bureau Office. She loved to roller skate and spent a lot of evenings at the roller rink which is where she met the love of her life, Gilbert Wallace Scheef. They were married November 26, 1942. He joined the US Army late December in 1942 and was shipped to Hawaii during World War II. Their first daughter, Judith Frances, was born in Atlantic, Iowa in August of 1943 and was 2 ½ years old before she saw her father. In late December of 1945, Gilbert came home from the war and in 1946 they moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas. They lived in Arkansas for 5 years and then moved to Sioux City, Iowa where Gilbert continued his career as a photographer for Genelli Studios. The second daughter, Sandra Louise, was born in May 1953. Faye also worked for Genelli’s doing tinting of portraits. In September of 1961, their son Kallon Gilbert was born. While living in Sioux City, they got started square dancing and enjoyed that until Gilbert’s health failed.

In 1968, they moved to Fremont, Nebraska where he managed Prestige Portraits and then opened their own photography studio in the basement of their home in Fremont.

Faye was very active as a Girl Scout leader in Sioux City, Iowa and a 4H leader in Fremont, Nebraska.
