Faith dedicated her life to her family, and was the proud mother of Vera Thompson and her husband, Gary; and Barbara Carey and her husband, Lyndell. She was the cherished grandmother of Caitlin Styczen and her husband, Brandon; and Christopher Thompson. She was lucky to have the opportunity to be called great-grandma by Nolan Styczen. Left to cherish her memory are sisters-in-law, Florence Kardash; Mary Rovinski and her husband, John; and Kathleen Kardash; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
