She was born in Barton (West Bend) on May 17, 1936 to her parents, Norman and Gertrude (Allarding) Jacklin. She joined two sisters and three brothers.
On June 18, 1955, she married Ralph “Chaz” A. Giese. They danced their way through 66 years before he passed away.
She enjoyed embroidery, crocheting, camping, spending time with her sisters, and baking. She had a love for dogs, especially Max and Sunny, who visited her with family members. She never went out without her hair done and her favorite lipstick on. She maintained their home and family while Ralph was on the road, driving truck. Later, after they bought their own truck, she joined him on the road as his co-pilot and dispatcher.
They were blessed with three children…Christine (Alan) Koenigs, Roger (Joan Glikey) Giese and Chet Giese. She has six grandchildren, Jason (Mel) Loehrke, Michael (Jen) Koenigs, Ryan (Courtney) Koenigs, Ashley (Kevin Lenz) Giese, Michelle (Chris Wenzel) Giese and Brandon Giese; and nine great-grandchildren whom she loved and adored. She was always so happy when they came to visit her!!

Faye wishes to thank the exceptional nursing staff, 5th and 6th floors, at St. Agnes Hospital, as well as her wonderful doctors. They went above and beyond taking care of her.
The Hospice Preceptor team Marie, Renee, Kori, Hannah, and the chaplain were a comfort to her and her family.
Adelaide Place, her assisted living facility, helped in her final days, also. Chrissy, Erica, and many others were so kind to her in the short time she lived there. We couldn’t have gone through this without them.
