FAITH HOPE HOLSTEIN

Faith Hope Holstein, formerly known as Faith Hope Allen, a remarkable soul who graced this world with her presence from January 17, 1987, until November 17, 2024. Born to Timothy and Charlotte (Arpin) Allen in the quaint town of Alpena, Michigan, her journey through life was defined by kindness, compassion, and an unwavering for her family.

Faith was a gentle spirit whose warmth touched everyone around her. She possessed a unique ability to make those she encountered feel valued and cherished. Her caring nature and loving demeanor made her not only a devoted mother but also a beloved sister, daughter, and friend. The echoes of her laughter and the light of her smile will forever resonate in the hearts of those privileged enough to know her.

She leaves behind two cherished sons, William Allen and Andrew Holstein, who were the pride and joy of her life. Her legacy continues through them, as they carry forward the values and love she instilled in them every day. Faith also shared a close bond with her siblings—Carrie (Brian) Kane, Timothy Allen "TJ," and Kezia (Bubba Simpson) Allen—as well as her half-brother, Travis Roy. 

Faith’s mother, Charlotte Allen, now navigates life with the weight of her loss but holds onto the countless memories and moments that brought them joy. Together with her mother, her niece Melina Allen, and a multitude of nieces and nephews, they mourn her absence, yet celebrate the relationship they had with this extraordinary woman.

She was preceded in death by her father, Timothy Allen, whose spirit surely welcomed her with open arms as she departed this world. Though her time was far too brief, the impact Faith had on the lives around her will echo for years to come. She will be deeply missed, yet fondly remembered, and her legacy of love and encouragement will inspire others to embrace every moment of their lives as she did.

As we remember Faith Hope Holstein, let us hold on to the kindness she emanated, cherish the love she gave, and strive to cultivate the same compassion she embodied in our own lives. Her spirit will forever illuminate our paths, guiding us with the warmth of her enduring love.

Faith has been taken for cremation with a memorial service planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers please consider a memorial contribution to the family to assist with final expenses.
