Kay Freda Schuiteman was born June 29, 1961, to Art and Francis Schuiteman. She attended Sioux Center Community School and High School.

She survived an upbringing with 7 siblings and mischief around the family farm.

After her high school she worked various jobs around the community including American State Bank and the Sioux Center Community Hospital.

On December 10, 1982, she was united in marriage to Dr. David Faber. The couple made their home in Sioux Center where she faithfully supported her husband and his journey to start and grow Trans Ova Genetics.

She enjoyed attending regional and national livestock cattle shows where she supported her children and became a show mom and friend to many. She never missed an opportunity to watch and support her kids in various sporting and school events.

Her favorite trips were family trips to Okoboji, and her true happy place was sitting on the bank of Long Lake in Park Rapids, Minnesota. Above all, her greatest passion in life was that of her three children; Sara, Daniel and Dr. Tyler and seven grandsons; Cohen, Creed, and Crew Kober (Sara); Drake, Tate and Hayes Faber (Daniel); and Callum Faber (Tyler).

She is survived by her husband, David; daughter Sara (Patrick) Kober of Liberty Center, Indiana; son, Daniel (Brooke) Faber of Sioux Center; and son Dr. Tyler (Autumn) Faber of Orange City; brothers Dr. Jan (Bev) Schuiteman of Orange City, Leon (Karen) Schuiteman of Sioux Center, Mark (Claryce) Schuiteman of Sioux Center; sisters, Kim (Ken) Smit of Sioux Center, brother, Kyle (Brenda) Schuiteman; and sister, Shonna (Brad) Borchers of Sioux Center; many nieces, nephews and other extended family members (and many Amazon delivery drivers.)

Kay was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Frances Schuiteman, and her brother, Dr. Kirk Schuiteman.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family prefers memorials be directed to the Kay Faber memorial fund.
