Biography
Faye apparently had a son out of wedlock--Vern Wilbur Shell, born in 1923. The following year she married John Morris, and had three more children with him.
FamilySearch.org shows middle name 'Viana'--also the middle name given on her son Vern's birth certificate, but daughter Winifred's middle name was 'Viola.'
