Faith Marie Timmerman

Faith Marie Timmerman went into the arms of Jesus on April 4, 2025.  She was completely loved and treasured every second of her life.  Faith was born on April 3, 2025 at 11:28 p.m. She spent 8 perfect hours with us and we will forever love and treasure her.

Faith is the daughter of Matthew and Jill (Cumberworth) Timmerman.

Survivors include:

Her parents:  Matthew and Jill Timmerman – rural Redkey, Indiana

Her siblings:  Eric (Gentry), Lucas, Kari, Colton, Isaiah, Cameron, Kaylee and Kayce.

Grandparents:  Michael and Karen Timmerman – rural Ridgeville, Indiana

Richard and Jane Cumberworth – Portland, Indiana

So many people loved Faith through our entire pregnancy, her short life and will love her until we see her in Heaven!  Among those are her Uncle Steven and Aunt Joanna Cumberworth (children Rowena and William); Aunt Erin and Uncle Jack Thomas (daughter Eleanor); Aunt Jenny and Uncle Ryan Outcalt (children Victoria, Hannah and Emma); and Aunt Laura and Uncle Bob Heitkamp (children Trevor, Aubrie, Gavin and Elise).

Faith was preceded in death by her great-grandparents; Bill and Anne Faudree, Rowena Cumberworth, Melvin and Pauline Timmerman and Adelheit Hess.

Faith had a wonderful church family at Fellowship Baptist Church in Portland.  Our church prayed us through every second of this and we will be forever grateful.

Faith Marie was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 during pregnancy.  The doctors did not expect much from her life, but our Faith proved them wrong.  She beat the odds and was born alive!  She blessed us so much in the time we had with her.  Her story has already touched so many and she’s just getting started!

We will spend every day of the rest of our lives continuing to honor her by showing love to others and telling them about our God and our Faith.  Psalms 139 13-14:  For You formed in my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.  I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

Visitation for Faith will be held on Wednesday from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Fellowship Baptist Church, 289 S. 200 W., Portland, Indiana 47371.  Services to celebrate her life will follow at 1 p.m. on Wednesday at the church.  Pastors Hugh Kelly and Matt Gierhart will officiate and burial will follow at Green Park Cemetery in Portland.
