At the Missions and Evangelism Conference, fall of \u201993, there were so many ex-Episcopalians at the Antiochian Village that we formed a group called the \u201cCanterbury Club.\u201d I don\u2019t recall all the players, but Mary and Conrad were ring leaders. We all had our own Anglican War Stories and we were thrilled to be Orthodox.<\/p>\n

Mary had been patiently taking care of Conrad lately: Alzheimer\u2019s. She\u2019d had some serious health scares of her own, only to receive better news. As Terry Mattingly mentions<\/a>, it was most likely a fatal fall, a little over a week ago, that ended her life. Her funeral is today<\/a>.
May the Lord rest her soul and comfort the family.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mary and I had many arguments over the years. These were always ill matched because Mary\u2019s intellect was far superior \u2014 with a biting wit. Some of these disagreements happened on various e-lists. We would often swap friendly private posts to each other while carrying on \u201cbadly\u201d for public consumption. When Mary sided with you, you felt justified. When she was on the \u201cother side,\u201d well, you felt differently. And, I must admit, sometimes she would send me emails \u2014 or questions \u2014 that helped me to realize just how non-intellectual (aka dumb) I really am. But, like a good school teacher, you never doubted that she loved you.<\/p>\n

I last saw Mary in the fall of 2003 when she, Conrad, and one of their sons stopped by on their way home from visiting her mother in the Carolinas. Back before the popularity of email, she and I used to correspond with snail-mail. But, like most, I knew her best \u201celectronically.\u201d She was omnipresent on the internet. She was a frequent Commenter on this blog \u2014 her last comments here were on this story<\/a>, July 23rd, shortly before her fall.<\/p>\n

I am stunned and saddened by her sudden passing. I cannot believe that there will be no more \u201cStolzi\u201d on the internet. We\u2019re all the worse for it. I can only with sorrow imagine the void now felt in her beloved parish, St Ignatius Antiochian Orthodox Church<\/a>, Franklin, Tennessee.<\/p>\n

At Stolzi\u2019s request, the family has requested donations to the Alzheimer\u2019s Association<\/a>, in honor of Conrad Stolzenbach and his care giver, Mary. <\/p>\n

May her memory be eternal!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
