Fayne married her Reynolds (Nebraska) High School sweetheart Bob Dragoo on June 1, 1946, in Washington, Kansas. In 1947 Bob and Fayne moved to Washington State joining Bob’s twin brother Dick and wife Bert to pursue work in the fruit industry.

They lived in the Wapato area for 68 years until moving to Yakima in 2015. Bob and Fayne celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in 2016. Family and friends gathered to share this milestone with them. Unfortunately, Bob passed away shortly after. Fayne missed her life-long partner dearly and we are thankful that she is at peace and they are back together now. Family was a big part of Fayne’s life. She enjoyed watching all her grandchildren and great grandchildren grow up. She hosted the family for the holidays, birthdays or just because for many years and looked forward to planning the next get together. She was always trying new recipes and making the family favorites. You would never go hungry at one of these gatherings or if you stopped by the house. Fayne retired from work at Del Monte, Toppenish, WA and kept in contact with many of work friends for years to come. Fayne was active in the Eagles and Legion Auxiliary groups. Bob and Fayne enjoyed getting together with all their friends regularly for lunch, dinner or meeting at the Eagles or Legion and the annual Super Bowl and New Year’s Day bowl gatherings. Frequent trips to Reno area were enjoyed as well as trips to Hawaii, locales down south, and to Nebraska to attend school and family reunions.
