Faith Ann, daughter of Erling and Sandra (Hoberg) Karlsbraaten, was born August 21, 1962 in Fargo, ND. Faith attended all 12 years of school at the Maddock Public School. She was active in choir, band, FHA and cheerleading while in high school and graduated in 1980. She spent a year in Bismarck attending college, receiving a diploma in Merchandising.

The Rehlings are members of the North Viking Church where Faith taught Sunday school and served on the ladies WELCA.
Faith was heavily involved with local organizations in her community, including, sports and music boosters, 4-H club, active woman's group, the centennial musical and bowling league. She was an avid historian and love to have conversations about family history, WWI, WWII and the Civil War.
