Faith was preceded in death by her beloved parents and brothers, Norman and Ray Williamson. She also leaves many friends all across the nation.
Besides her family who meant so much to her, Faith’s passions included the arts, her pets, her English heritage, social issues, and her spiritual journey.
Faith was born to George Phillip and Muriel Millicent Ray Williamson on March 13, 1923 near Maplewood, NJ where she spent her childhood years.
She graduated from Tusculum College in Greenville, TN.
She then attended Princeton Seminary where Bill was a student.
They were married
there in 1947, and she began her long and fruitful life with Bill as national missionaries in the Reserve and Corona, NM ranching communities until 1962.
They spent another 11 years in rural mission church work in the mountain area around the University of the Ozarks, Clarksville, AR, where they both were employed.
For the past 32 years, Faith and Bill have made their home in San Antonio, where Bill was pastor of the downtown Madison Square Presbyterian Church, 1973 - 1991.
The family spent most summers at Chautauqua Lake, NY, one of Faith’s most favorite places. She and the family also enjoyed other vacation trips across the country.
On one of those trips through Georgia, the family stopped at Koinonia Farms and saw the beginnings of the dream of Clarence Jordan and Millard Fuller for cooperative building of homes with people in need.
With Millard’s encouragement, Faith conceived of the idea of trying community home building in the inner-city of San Antonio.
Beginning in 1976 through her work with many friends in the area, including Rod and Patti Radle, San Antonio Habitat for Humanity became the first affiliate of what is now a world wide housing project in cooperation with low-income working families.
Faith documented this story in her book, "We Would Be Building", published in 2001 by Habitat for Humanity International.

Mary Edith Penington, age 88, born July 4, 1916, in Seattle, WA, was the oldest of the four children of Dr. and Mrs. Walter Raymond Jones, Illinois natives.
Edith and her husband of 62 years, Lt. Col. (USA, Ret.) Ralph A. Penington, Ph.D. met while attending the University of Washington and Seattle’s First Methodist Church.
They were married
July 25, 1934, in Coupeville, WA. They were blessed with three children, Edith Anne (“Than”), and her husband, D. James Brademas, Ph.D., of Tucson, AZ., RADM Gregory A. Penington (USCG, Ret.), and wife, Eleanor, of Sammamish, WA, and Mary Judith Penington (M.Lib., M.S.), of San Antonio, TX.
In addition, they have had 10 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Edith and Ralph enjoyed living in many places, during their nearly 30 years of military life, including several in the U.S., plus Yokohama, Japan (where Edith helped establish post-war American youth activities); Oberramergau, Germany (where Edith was president of the Wives’ Club); and Madrid, Spain (where Ralph was attached to the Attache’s office).
During those years, Ralph was assigned, first, to the 41st Division/Washington National Guard, then following OCS, to the 10th Mountain Division (Colorado and No. Italy); 8th Army Headquarters (Japan); Quartermaster Corps (Fort Lee, VA.); Russian Language Institute (Columbia U); ACSI/Army General Staff (Pentagon); and Intelligence. Following retirement, at the Pentagon, September 1961, they resided in West Lafayette, IN. (where Ralph pursued the M.A. & PhD in industrial Relations); Rensselaer, IN. (where Ralph served as professor of economics at St. Joseph’s College, while completing the PhD.); Edinburg, TX (where Ralph was head of the Dept. of Business Admin. At Pan American U., now U.T./Edinburg); then Brownsville, TX (where Ralph was founding Director & First Professor Emeritus of Pan American University/Brownsville, now U.T./Brownsville).
They finally retired, again, to Air Force Village I, San Antonio, TX, in 1978, after buying in and visiting frequently for 5 years. Through the years, Edith was employed as a “Welcome Wagon” hostess; the Secretary to the Personnel Officer for Purdue University Libraries; and as a Field Agent gathering statistics for the C.P.I., for Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Dept of Labor; as well as actively participating with Officers’ Wives’ Clubs and Boy and Girl Scouts.
After Edith and Ralph bought the Illinois farm which has been in the family over 125 years, Edith managed the farm interests; owned/sold several San Antonio rental houses; and monitored/handled personal stocks and bonds. At the age of 85, she “took up” the computer, so she could have frequent email correspondence with her large family, scattered all over the map. She found that everyone wants to visit Central Texas, especially San Antonio.
