Faith Anne McLaughlin

Born in Missouri on January 10, 1979, Faith grew up in Fullerton, Nebraska. She graduated from Fullerton High School, where she proudly performed in the color guard. Raised by her mother and stepfather, Bonny & Mark Kealy, enjoyed a childhood filled with adventure. Her family often traveled across the United States, exploring new places and visiting loved ones. Through many camping and hunting trips Faith developed a lifelong love for the outdoors. She cherished all these adventures, along with joyful visits to grandma & grandpa’s and summers with her cousins.

Shortly after high school, Faith married David Plumbtree. Though their time together as a couple was brief and they ultimately parted ways, their union was blessed with a beautiful daughter, Alexis.

In 2003, Faith met her forever love, Adam McLaughlin. They began building a beautiful life, and welcomed two children together, James and Taylor. Faith and Adam moved from Parker to Littleton, Colorado, in 2005, and were married on April 18, 2008. Their home in Littleton quickly became a hub of warmth and laughter. Faith was the ultimate host and the absolute life of the party. Whether it was a massive Fourth of July bash, a birthday celebration, or a baby shower, Faith loved nothing more than filling her house with family, friends, and noise.

Faith wore many hats. She loved her job in retail and loved being a part of the community in Littleton. Her absolute greatest accomplishment in life, however, was her children. Nobody was happier or prouder to be a mother than Faith. She raised her children in a home overflowing with love, friends, and a revolving door of family pets, including three dogs and her cats. When she wasn't organizing a gathering, Faith knew how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. She loved the summer heat, visiting rivers, attending car shows, and sitting in the sun with a cold drink. On quieter days, she could be found curled up with a good book, watching Hallmark movies, and cuddling with her cats. Faith lived life out loud, brought unmatched energy to every room she entered, and was always ready for the next fun adventure.

Her bright legacy lives on through her children, Alexis Brooke Plumbtree (and husband Colton James Mayo), James Patrick McLaughlin, and Taylor Eve McLaughlin; her father, Robert Thomas Pierce; her stepfather, Mark Kealy; her brothers, Dalton Thomas Pierce (and wife Amanda) and Colton Pierce; and her two cherished cats, Mister Fitzgibons and Zero.

Faith was reunited in death by her beloved husband, Adam Wade McLaughlin; her mother, Bonny Kealy; and her notoriously "evil" cat, Nicodemus, who only ever had love for Faith.

A Celebration of Faith’s Life will be held Monday, July 20th, 2026 at 11am at Resthaven Funeral Home in Fort Collins. Please join her family for a light reception to follow and a time of fellowship and remembrance.
