I wonder about this case. There are multiple examples of family tree on genealogical sites which give her death in 2005 in Oregon, but annoyingly without further details or sources. Examples are;

Faun (Moulton) Moon (1918-2005) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree and
Thomas Jensen Moulton (1892-1979) | FamilySearch

It seems that either she reappeared at some point and the authorities were not notified or she lives under the radar until 2005, when her death became known to some relatives, or the 2005 death is an error, perhaps transmitted from one genealogical site to another (as sometimes happens). Normally I would favour the last explanation, but 2005 is a very specific date with no obvious reason other than knowledge on someone's part.

I agree, that is strange. Another possible explanation is someone with a similar name died in 2005 and distant relatives may have concluded it was her without knowing anything about her. This happens sometimes when no death records can be found-- the researcher finds a record that could fit and makes a false assumption-- maybe a record was found of someone else with a close spelling (like "Fawn" instead of "Faun")-- the researcher assumes it was a name variation and puts it down as her death date without any more research, then the bad info gets passed on without a source. JMO.

It would be great to know if she took her vehicle or any money with her, or if she just walked away.

The family certainly believed she was still alive in December 1970, 18 months after her disappearance, as her uncles obituary ( Clipping from The Daily Herald - Newspapers.com ) lists her as surviving.

Bumping for Faun - it's now been 53 years.

WikiTree lists her as having passed away in 2005...
