Faye Ann Sheehan

Faye Sheehan, a longtime resident of Pewaukee, passed away on March 12, 2026, at AngelsGrace Hospice.

Born Faye Rellatz, she graduated from Arrowhead High School in 1959 and went on to work at Dairyland Foods in Waukesha and Shinners Publications in Brookfield. After her husband retired from Halquist Stone Company, Faye and James worked together doing maintenance at St. Mary’s Catholic Grade School in Pewaukee. She was an avid bowler who served as secretary-treasurer of several leagues and continued to enjoy the sport until her diagnosis of stage four colon cancer in December 2022. She received treatment at the ProHealth UW Cancer Center for several years.

Preceded in death by her parents, George and Sylvia (nee Suprna) Rellatz, her husband of 57 years, James Sr., her son James Jr., her sister Joanne Toetz, and her son-in-law Robert Young, Faye is survived by her children Brian (Jen) Sheehan, Jennifer (Eddie) Martens, Debra Young of Sullivan, Vickie (Greg) Dickinson, and Kevin Sheehan. She was the proud “Granny” to Danielle Sheehan, Brittany (Megan) McNally, Michael (Hanna) Gonzales, Mathew Martens, Brandi (Alex Vargo) Dickinson, Dylan Dickinson, and Crystal Schmidt, and the adoring “GiGi” to great-grandson Michael Edward Gonzales III. She is also survived by her sisters Patti Mitchell and Barbara (Don) Wendlandt, daughter-in-law Connie Sheehan, and brother and sister-in-law David and Barbara Sheehan.

Faye lived a life marked by quiet dedication to her family, her work, and the simple joys she found in bowling and community. Her steadfast faith and enduring love for those around her will remain with all who knew her.
