Faith Elizabeth Hensley, just shy of her first birthday, danced into the arms of our Lord on February 28, 2026, surrounded by love yet facing one of life’s cruelest battles. She fought with a strength and resilience that touched every heart she encountered, from nurses to family members alike. Faith was born on April 21, 2025 with MSMDS (Multisystemic Smooth Muscle Dysfunction Syndrome) an ACTA2 gene mutation. Amidst the pain is a profound sense of peace and comfort knowing little Faith, now whole and joyous once again with Jesus, no longer suffers nor faces another medical ordeal.
Faith is survived by her loving parents, Spencer and Jena; adoring big sisters, Francesca, Kathleen, Josephine; grandparents; extended family and friends.
A funeral service will be held Thursday, March 5, 2026 at 12:00 PM, with visitation beginning at 10:00 AM, at Princeton Evangelical Free Church, 12140 317th Avenue NW, Princeton, MN. Burial will be at Orono Cemetery in Elk River, MN.
