Passed away on October 6, 2020 at the age of 88, surrounded by her family.
Faith is preceded in death by her beloved husband Howard Adams. Through the day of her passing, she remained a devoted and loving mother to Wayne (Sue) Adams and Sharon (Dave) Russell; adoring grandmother to Kristen (John) Garner, Brian Russell, Katie (Tony) Moore and David Adams; cherished great-grandmother to Jackson, Benjamin and Olivia. She was also a beloved sister, sister-in-law, aunt, great aunt and friend to the many people she touched during her life.
Throughout her life she was committed to being a devoted servant of God, a teacher in the Riverview Garden School District and she touched many lives through her vibrant and giving spirit. But most of all, her greatest love was family, children and grandchildren. Nothing was more important to her than spending time with them.
Faith was a devoted member of St. Peters United Church of Christ her entire life. Raising her family there, serving there and enjoying many lifelong friendships.
Faith gifted her body to Washington University School of Medicine.

Dear Sharon, my heart is broken for you and your family. Sending thoughts and prayers your way.
I didn’t know your mom but I know you so she must have been amazing❤️
Wayne and Sue: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Faith. She was a wonderful woman and a great mother and grandmother. You could see the joy for life in her smile. I know that her life was well spent and that she was loved by all who knew her. Please know that my prayers go to you both at this difficult time.
Dear Wayne, Sue, Sharon, Dave, and families.
I am so very sorry that you lost Faith. I have known Faith and Howard since the sixth grade at Farragut School, then Beaumont High, then Harris Teachers College and then Howard at Mizzou.
They attended several of our High School Reunions, and we would on occasion run into Faith with Buz at the Frontenac Theatre.
God’s Love always has met and always will meet every human need, so I hold the thought that your needs will be met, and know that Faith has gone on to prepare a place for you, as has Our Father.
Love,
Bill Halliburton

Dear Sharon, Wayne and families,
I was so sorry to hear the news about Faith. What a dear friend she has been through high
school, college and beyond. Faith always had a great sense of humor, a great mind and
such class! “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal”

Dear Sharon, Wayne and families, I was so sorry to hear of Faith’s passing. She has been a
good friend through High School, College and beyond! She had a keen sense of humor, a
great mind and such class! “Death leaves a heartache o one can heal . . .Love leaves a memory
no one can steal!” My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Sending prayers to Wayne, Sharon, and all of her family and friends. Aunt Faith was so special to me, and I will greatly miss her. She loved her family so much and during our phone calls and visits, she was so eager to brag on her grandkids Katie, David, Kristen and Brian. She was so proud of each of you, and loved you all so much! She had a special bond with all of you and I always looked forward to hearing her stories and how well you were doing. Aunt Faith could make me laugh with her (sometimes) sarcastic sense of humor. She was so giving and caring; a classy lady with a down to earth personality. She always asked how our cows were doing, a question I found so funny but thoughtful. God Bless Aunt Faith, she is with the Lord and no longer uncomfortable. She will be greatly missed. Thinking of you all.
Love, Julie
I am a Friendship Village resident. Faith was in my water class when she was able to come. I also had dinner with her and enjoyed her company at entertainment and other activities. She was a neat woman and I am so sorry for her passing. When you decide to have a memorial service, please reach out to the village so we might come to it. Thank You.

I will be forever grateful for that day in 1977 that our paths crossed at Glasgow school. Who would have thought…What a friendship it was. Because I knew you Faith I have been changed for good. Love and laughter till we meet again.
