Faye was born October 3, 1943, in Crosby, the daughter of Henry and Marie (LaVictoire) Torgerson, Sr. She was baptized as an infant, and was later confirmed in her faith as a youth, both at Zion Lutheran Church, Crosby. She received her education in Crosby, and was a graduate of the Crosby-Ironton High School class of 1962.

On June 29, 1963, Faye was united in marriage to Allan Lindblom at Zion Lutheran Church in Crosby. This marriage was blessed with three children, Donald, Karen, and Kathy. Faye and Allan resided in Hutchinson for 25 years, and later made their home in Stewart. They shared 60 years, 7 months, and 10 days of marriage.

Faye was employed with LPC in Litchfield for a few years, but most importantly, she was a homemaker, which allowed her to stay home with her children. She was a member of United States Bowling Congress (USBC) and was a Brownie Troop Leader.

In Faye’s past time, she enjoyed reading, bowling, cross stitching, and playing Yahtzee, Scrabble and cards. She was fast at solving crossword puzzles and great at scoring deals at garage sales. She took pleasure in collecting owl décor and displaying her collection. She loved to travel with family and friends. In her earlier years, she enjoyed horseback riding and snowmobiling. As an avid bowler, she was on Tuesday and Thursday leagues where she qualified for state bowling tournaments.  She cherished time with family, friends, and pets. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Blessed be her memory.

Faye will be deeply missed by her husband, Allan Lindblom of Aitkin; daughters, Karen Ebert and her husband, Larry, of Clarks Grove and Kathy Witucki and her husband, Eric, of Silver Lake; grandchildren, Brandon Witucki, of Mankato, Brady (Molly) Ebert, of Neillsville, WI, and Jase (Marit) Witucki, of Litchfield; great-grandchildren, Asher, Hailey, and Alvilda; brothers, Henry (Faye) Torgerson, Jr. of Aitkin and Joel  (Virginia) Torgerson of Crosby; sisters, Christine (Harlan) Miller of Aitkin and Vicki Patrick of Aitkin; sister-in-law, Joan Torgerson of Hill City; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and other relatives and friends.
