Her work followed her to Orlando, Florida, where she met and married David Vick II.

After five years, their calling moved them to Columbia, South Carolina; at that time, Faith Elaine joined the Lexington Medical Center Hospital, which gave her pleasure in a hospital environment. She continued until a stroke forced her to retire after 15 years.
