Faye M. Krahn passed away peacefully after a brief battle with lung cancer on January 31, 2021 at the age of 70. She was born on December 25, 1950 to the late Howard and Norma Krahn in Wausau WI where she attended Wausau High School and graduated in 1969.
Over the years Faye worked in the food, cleaning and insurance industries before her retirement. Faye was also a caregiver to her mother and special friend Don Lenthart in their final days.

She was preceded in death by her parents, five brothers Kenneth Krahn, Howard Krahn, Robert Krahn, Dennis Krahn, Brian Krahn, one daughter in law Tammy Pittsley and her special friend and companion Don Lenthart. To honor Faye's wishes there will be no funeral service.
A memorial gathering will be held Saturday February 27th, 2021 at the Wausau Labor Temple from 12pm – 4pm. With the current pandemic please follow the guidelines by wearing a mask and social distancing when possible.
