In Loving Memory of Kathy Oriard Stutz

Posted by John Richeson on July 22, 2018 at 9:14am in In Memoriam

I sadly post this in memory of Kathy Oriard Stutz who was an alumni of the 4th Corps. She passed away peacefully on June 22, 2018 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane with her two daughters at her side. Many of us remember her persistent smile and kindness.

Here is a link with some details of her amazing life and of the memorial service to be held on July 29th. details:

Jim and Kathy were my Limb Coordinators in New Hampshire when I first got into the Word in Portsmouth, and then when I graduated into the Way Corps and moved to California. They will always have a special place in my heart. God's abundant blessings to her two daughters, and I look forward to seeing her at the return.

Steve-thanks for posting this and getting the word out.

Oriard- That's what and how she was known to me....she picked me up every night to drive me to the 2nd ever PFAL class in Spokane WA...Oriard had the best laugh ever, I can still hear it ring in my head. We ended up moving to Ohio together to go into Way Corps 4, we spent a lot of time over those years talking about how we were going to change the world with God's word. In the end, I believe Oriard did the almost impossible, she managed to change herself and so did I. Oriard- I love you and miss having you to sit under the apple trees and wonder what the hell we were doing. We will continue to enjoy the memory of your wild spirit and amazing laughter.

She cut off my ponytail, Summer School 1974, after Jim Pisani told me "long hair was passe."

I will never forget her beautiful smile and loving heart. I can't wait to see her when our Lord returns! I pray for comfort and peace to her loved ones until that day.

She was my bud.

The hope of Christ's return is always a comfort and an encouragement, but especially at times like this. Fortunately we do not sorrow as those who have no hope. Oh what a day that will be, to see her beautiful smile again! Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.

a wonderful woman who had a wonderful husband. I will never forget them.

Kathy, and her late husband Jim, were always reminders to me of the goodness and love of our heavenly Father. I long to see them again, and pray for the God of all comfort to magnify Himself to her daughters, family, and loved ones. There is a sting and a sorrow, but there will be a trumpet and a shout, and we will be together forever with the Lord.
