            Faye Joann Hurst, age 69, died peacefully on Tuesday, October 19th, 2021 in her home surrounded by the love and care of her children. She was born in Moose Lake, MN on September 7th, 1952 to Arthur and Hetty (Aho) Korpela.

            Faye grew up in Cromwell and settled down to raise a family in Barnum after she married her true love, Dennis Hurst. Dennis and Faye enjoyed traveling and sight-seeing as well as fixing and remodeling homes for their family. She worked for many years as the Business Manager for Barnum School District. She loved the U of M Gophers, especially basketball, but her real favorite team was any team her grandchildren were on. Faye enjoyed numerous cruises and vacations with her friends throughout the years. She was an excellent baker, enjoyed crocheting, and was notorious for keeping a clean home. Above all else, Faye cherished time spent with her grandkids and lived for moments with her family.

            Faye was preceded in death by her husband, Dennis; her parents, Arthur and Hetty; grandson, Daniel; and brother-in-law, David Hurst.
