Faith was born June 18, 1941 to Ervin \u201cJoe\u201d and Thelma (Faith) Crippen in Des Moines, Iowa. She was married to Adrian Baldwin December 2004.<\/p>\n
Faith was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, wife and friend. \u00a0She had success as a\u00a0Princess House distributor for many years until finding one of her true passions as a volunteer at NKC Hospital. She used her wit and humor to relax families in crisis. She was often referred to by her husband as \u201cFunny Girl\u201d. \u00a0 Eventually she became an avid crafter. Everyone had to have an original \u201cBuni\u201d corn bag or a lookalike \u201cVera\u201d purse. Two of her great joys were spending time with her \u201cMumsy\u201d at high tea around the area and baking and decorating cookies with her family for each holiday.<\/p>\n
Faith was preceded in death by her father, Joe Crippen; mother, Thelma Hartsock; her paternal and maternal grandparents; and step sister, Connie Hartsock.<\/p>\n
She is survived by her husband, Adrian Baldwin; sons, Matt (Angela) Schulz and Michael Schulz; grandchildren, Sydney, Christian, Garrison, and Ali; surviving siblings, Joanne Spence, Margaret (Ray) Pilcher, Kathie Hartsock; and seven nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n
A memorial service will be held 11:00 a.m., Saturday, November 11, 2017 at St. Luke\u2019s Episcopal Church, 534 Regent St., Excelsior Springs, Mo.\u00a0 The family suggests in lieu of flowers donations be sent to The Alzheimer\u2019s Association.<\/p>\n

As the story goes my Aunt Faith, or as I called her Auntie FeFe, lived with my parents, her Sister Margaret and her husband Ray (my Father), when I was about 2-3 years old.\u00a0 I would call for my Mom to come and get me out of my crib, but she would not always come and get me right away.\u00a0 I knew I could always call my Auntie FeFe, and she would be there in a minute to get me out of my crib.
\nEven though we lived miles apart our times together were always as if we had seen each other the day before.\u00a0 I will miss your wonderful sense of humor and your kind heart and the fun times. You always made me feel special!
\nHugs to Micheal and Mathew!
\nMiss you already Auntie FeFe.
\nLove you, your niece Jana<\/p>\n
You\u2019re set free and rejoicing in heaven no doubt. Rest In Peace until we meet again.
