Faye was born in Harrison, Arkansas to King and Reba Speer on January 18, 1921. She and family moved to Arizona when she 6. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great- grandmother. Faye graduated Valedictorian at Flagstaff High School in 1939. She was employed at The Orpheum Theatre in Flagstaff where she met and fell in love with Clarence L. Shartzer who was managing the theatre at the time. They married in 1940. They resided in Flagstaff while her husband began his career in the newspaper business. Faye also worked at the paper as a teletype operator for many years. The newspaper business took them to the northwest in 1966. Following her husband's death in 1975, she returned to work as a church secretary until her retirement. In 1989 she married Ed Shartzer in Missoula, MT. In 1993 she moved back to Coeur d' Alene.
Besides being a talented self-taught artist (painting), Faye was a skilled seamstress, sewing clothing, including prom dresses and wedding dresses, for her daughters. She was a life-long bridge player and at 90, transitioned to playing bridge on a new IPAD and then used it also to keep in touch with her kids and grandkids.
Faye is survived by daughters, Dianne Reeves, Marilyn (Roger) Honig, Judy (Kevin) Kirking, Stepchildren Ralph (JoAnn) Shartzer, and Peggy (John) Pritchard, grandchildren Mike Reeves, Shelly Pierre, Trisha Rook, Jimmy Sweigart, Karen Baloy, Scott Kirking, and Kim Ritacca, as well as thirteen great-grandchildren and two great-great- grandchildren.
