When she was quite young, the Whistlers packed up their International pickup and left for Oregon settling in Tualatin, Oregon. Her father worked long hours supporting the family through the depression years doing farm work, growing berries and working for the Portland Cement Company. Faye pulled her weight doing chores such as carrying water into the house, picking filberts and berries, and cleaning the barn. Outings to Portland provided a break now and then.
