Faith Elizabeth Luing passed away Sunday, March 31, 2024.  She was born in Worthington, Minnesota to Donald Hammar and Helen Annabelle on June 21, 1929. She was united in marriage to Robert “Bob” Luing on December 3, 1951.

Faith enlisted in the Army in 1950 and served until 1955. Faith worked at MD Anderson cancer research after she was honorably discharged from the Army. Bob and Faith moved to Mahtowa, MN. Faith farmed while Bob worked at the Cloquet Papermill. Faith was a member of Grace Baptist Church in Cloquet, and Emmanuel Baptist in Duluth. Previously, she attended Mahtowa Covenant, Barnum Community Church, and Temple Baptist in Brainerd. Faith’s hobbies and passions included farming, faith, family, cutting wood, and gardening.

Faith is preceded in death by husband, Robert Luing; grandchildren, Jackson Tjaden, Jonathon Luu, Amelia Casey; sisters, Phyllis Hammar, and Eleanor Schuck.

Faith is survived by daughters, Phyllis Luing, Mary Beth Luing, Virginia (Brian) Graves, Rachel (Gary) McDonald, and Hannah (Thomas) Casey; sons, Philip Hughes-Luing, Basil (Lori) Luing, Joel (Alia) Luing, and Titus (Jenny) Luing; sister, Mary Ellen Hammar; many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

After Bob’s retirement, he cooked and Faith washed the dishes.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks a donation be made in Faith’s name to Grace Church, as it was her desire was to purchase a new dishwasher for the church.
