at Washington Digital archives (www.digitalarchives.wa.gov) there is a marriage record for Keith D Fahrney and Roberta M Thompson. They were married in 1953 and he died in 1956 with no mention of her in his death record. Perhaps they divorced, she died or may have annulled the marriage - she was VERY VERY young:

(note the year of her birth is written over, crossed out and has 1939 written underneath - this would make her just 13 1/2 when she married. One would assume that the Thompsons who witnessed were related, possibly her mother).
