She received her education in Crosby and was a graduate of the Crosby-Ironton High School class of 1962. On June 29, 1963, Faye was united in marriage to Allan Lindblom at Zion Lutheran Church in Crosby. This marriage was blessed with three children, Donald, Karen  and Kathy. Faye and Allan resided in Hutchinson for 25 years, and later made their home in Stewart. They shared 60 years, seven months and 10 days of marriage. Faye was employed with LPC in Litchfield for a few years, but most importantly, she was a homemaker, which allowed her to stay home with her children. She was a member of United States Bowling Congress (USBC) and was a Brownie Troop Leader. In Faye’s pass time, she enjoyed reading, bowling, cross stitching  and playing Yahtzee, Scrabble and cards. She was fast at solving crossword puzzles and great at scoring deals at garage sales. She took pleasure in collecting owl décor and displaying her collection. She loved to travel with family and friends. In her earlier years, she enjoyed horseback riding and snowmobiling. As an avid bowler, she was on Tuesday and Thursday leagues where she qualified for state bowling tournaments.  She cherished time with family, friends, and pets. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Blessed be her memory. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Donald Lindblom; mother, Marie Torgerson; father, Henry Torgerson, Sr.; brothers, David Torgerson and Daryl Torgerson; sisters, Dianna Torgerson and Ruth Anne Collins; parents-in-law, Axel and Margaret Lindblom; brothers-in-law, Nicholas Patrick and Kenneth Collins; and nieces, Tammy Collins, Catherine Patrick and Kimberlee Gruhlke.
