She received her Bachelor of Science in Education degree in

It was in Waterloo that the couple had their first two sons,

The couple was transferred to various locations with John
Deere. Though Faith continued to stay at home, she continued
her music ministry. She directed children's, adult and bell

Faith loves to serve her Lord by working with children and
music.
