Faye Trail, 95, went home to her savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, September 2, 2022, at St. John’s Lutheran Home in Albert Lea, MN, with family by her side. W. Faye Trail was born June 17, 1927, to Albert J and Amy A (Alley) Herrin in Dodge City, Kansas. Faye’s father and mother divorced when she and her brother, Leon, were quite young.
