The widow believed the promise of God through Elijah that she would have sufficient food and not starve to death if she shared her remaining food with the prophet. Elijah had said to her (1 Kings 17:14-16): 14For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
She also showed faith by believing that God had used Elijah to raise her son back to life.

Who was the widow of Zarephath in the Bible?
She was a widow of great faith in Almighty God, who sent Elijah to go to Zarephath and stay there. This was during a great famine. When Elijah asked her for water, she supplied him with water. But when he asked her for bread, she replied that she had no bread, only a handful of flour and a little oil. But she then made him a small portion. By her display of faith and hospitality to Elijah, God made sure that her large jar of flour did not run out and that her oil jar was never empty. This lasted for quite a while, as long as Elijah stayed with her. Later, her only son became sick and died. Elijah called on God and the boy was raised from the dead. This account is covered in 1 Kings, chapter 17.
