She was born on December 28, 1925, the daughter of Ellison and Gertrude (Haggett) Ring and grew up in Franklin. She was a graduate of Franklin High School, class of 1944 and New Hampshire School of Accounting and Finance class of 1945 (now Southern New Hampshire University). After graduation she was asked by the owner of the college, Harry A.B. Shapiro to be his full-time secretary. She continued to be employed by the college in many capacities and was the Applications Coordinator when she retired after 47 ½ years.

During her retirement, Fay enjoyed taking to the sea and had traveled on 30+ cruises. When not on the sea, she enjoyed taking many bus trips. Fay became Director of Hospitality for the Bedford Seniors for eight years as well as a member of the Board of Directors.
