In 1998, Fay and Roy moved to Midland to be near her daughter and her granddaughters.

Fay was an incredible woman, loving wife, and the best mother to her daughter, Kim Sheldon and her son, Scott Brian. She adored her granddaughters, Katie Warden and Melissa Sheldon. She was blessed with a beautiful great-granddaughter, Briley Slater. Even though she only had four short months with her, they were the best. Fay worked for New Mexico Electric Service Company for seventeen years. She was an active member of the Hobbs Moose Lodge and served as Senior Regent. After her retirement with New Mexico Electric, she became the "Lyric Lady" for KPER radio station, where she loved being a local celebrity. After moving to Midland, Fay worked at Reliable Life Insurance Company. Fay, well known as Mimi, had a unique sense of humor. She was a character of her own. Her quick and dry sense of humor kept people laughing. Mimi always enjoyed being around her family and friends. Her bubbly personality kept people rolling.
