Mary "Faith" Bingham died peacefully Sunday, July 17, 2011 in Tallahassee.
Faith was born March 30, 1936, in Bainbridge, Ga. to Mary Alice Sappington Cullifer, of Lynn Haven, and the late Joseph Hayes Sappington, of Havana.
She lived in the South all of her life, mostly in Florida and south Georgia. She first attended Florida International University in Miami, and then Florida State University in Tallahassee where she received a master's degree in home economics.
She retired in 1996 from a long tenure as a math, business, and vocational teacher. Her first teaching job was with the English as a Second Language program in Miami, at the English Center in the 1970s. When her family moved to Apalachicola in 1977, she taught at Apalachicola High School. She finished her career teaching DCT at Lincoln High School in Tallahassee, and prior to that at Godby High School.
Faith wrote a cookbook after retirement called "Faith in the Kitchen," and opened a cooking store by the same name with her daughters in Tallahassee. She co-authored a book with her mother entitled "Beacons," about her mother's life growing up in the South, and another entitled "Lighthouses along Florida's Coastline," featuring brief histories about Florida lighthouses accompanied by her mother's paintings.
Faith is survived by her children Chris Whiteside, of Torrance, Calif., Wayne Robison of Mandeville, La., Andrew Whiteside, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Catherine "Sam" Walker, Robin Ingram, and Brian Whiteside, all of Tallahassee; her husband of 10 years Dr. Frasier O. Bingham, Tallahassee, and his children, Charles P. Bingham, of Lighthouse Point, and Britt Bingham Springer, of Boone, N.C.; 13 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
