She then moved to Dickinson, ND where she attended Dickinson State University and graduated with a business degree in 1972.

She held that position until she was elected as the Fallon County Treasurer in 1975. She continued her dedicated service as treasurer for the next 35 years. She was able to meet new and dear friends during her time with Fallon County. Faye met and married the love of her life, Dennis Koenig, September 15, 1973.

She enjoyed animals, especially anything that involved horses, dogs, and cats. She loved working cows and the ranch way of life. Faye’s children and grandchildren were a huge part of her life. She loved them very much and enjoyed supporting them in their activities. She always wanted to be a part of everything they were involved in and was proud of all their achievements. Her favorite time was when her family could gather together and spend time with each other. Faye was an active member and supporter of 4-H for the last 40 years.
