STUMPH - Ingrid Karen (nee Gemar) Stumph, beloved wife of Stanley Stumph of Yorkton, Saskatchewan passed away on June 9, 2021 after her health began to fail while spending time in respite at Jowsey House in the Yorkton Nursing Home. She was sixty five years of age. Ingrid was the only child of Henry and Ingeburg (nee Leidig) Gemar formerly of Yorkton. Ingrid was born on November 29, 1955 in Fairview, Alberta where she received her education and later from the Grand Prairie College where she was enrolled in performance piano. While there she studied under a professor from Missoula, Montana who encouraged her to pursue her studies at the Missoula Music Academy, which she did for a short time before returning to Canada to prepare for her marriage with Stan Stumph from Yorkton, Saskatchewan. On their way to the altar they had the good fortune of attending bible school at Camrose, Alberta. Stan and Ingrid were married at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fairview, Alberta on December 4, 1976. Their union of 44 years would see the welcoming of three children into their home and later their spouses and grandchildren. Besides being a wife, mother and homemaker Ingrid used her knowledge of music to invest in countless piano and organ students in Yorkton and later Kelowna, BC and Edmonton, Alberta. Her love for music and the arts and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ inspired her to put on many musical productions in her home church and also surrounding area churches. Her love for God and people resulted in her being instrumental in birthing Women's Aglow International in Yorkton and served as this chapter's 1st president. Ingrid loved Christmas. Baking with a passion, there was always more than enough Nanaimo bars, Russian tea cakes and carmel marshmallow squares. Stan was put in charge of putting up the tree but could never satisfy her eye for perfection in every detail of the decorating. Her love of Christmas and the story of the birth of Jesus could not be contained in her own home but she wanted others to experience the joy she had through the birth of her Saviour. Yorkton‘s first singing Christmas tree came out of this love and joy, being able to bring others together to sing and use their talents. The final notes from the first tree had barely quieted, before she began planning for the next singing tree which was done in 1993. In 1996 Ingrid joined her husband and along with their three young children began travelling throughout North America with Reality Outreach Ministries. Life consisted of meeting about 60 new people every weekend, building a backdrop and set and training people to put on the drama presentation "Heavens Gates and Hells Flames". Living in a motorhome with your husband and three children 24/7 could put some people over the edge but Ingrid loved to organize and she handled every situation as a teaching point for life. Many would say enough after 10 years of putting on drama and working with people but not Ingrid. Once again approached to do a production for Habitat for Humanity she jumped at the opportunity and along with help from a multitude of volunteers "His Promise" a musical drama was birthed once again to demonstrate her love for God. The free will offering was used to help build a house in Yorkton by Faith Build Habitat for Humanity. Ingrid seemed to find a newfound strength during the event planning seasons. Seasons have a beginning and unfortunately an end. She loved winter with new fresh snow, hoarfrost on the trees, time to spend in the kitchen baking and planning for the next time all the kids and grandkids were coming home. When her health began to fail and the inability to do so many things that she loved a new direction, although underlying, began to surface. Her notes to herself tell it all. "When you're young you pour out your love and time to your husband, your children, grandchildren, parents, church family and others. When you find you now are in a place to need their time and love it is hard to find. Then God spoke to me and revealed his love never stops being poured out, forgiving and giving. Take my hand and I will never leave you nor forsake you." Ingrid was predeceased by her parents. She leaves to mourn and celebrate her life, her husband Stan Stumph; daughter, Stephanie (Gary) Denbow of Minneapolis, Minnesota; son Benn (Amber) Stumph and their children Elise and Nolan of Minneapolis, MN; and son Dan (Sarah) Stumph and their children Casey, Jonas and Davis of Warman, SK as well as many relatives and friends to numerous to mention but know that she loved you all. Funeral Services were held on Tuesday, June 15th, 2021 from the Yorkton DreamCentre with Pastor Kevin Sawatsky officiating. Tributes and words of remembrance were given by Ingrid's daughters in law, Amber and Sarah and her son, Daniel. Ingrid's grandchildren prepared a video tribute. Special music was "Because of You" and "God Be With You". Ingrid's son, Benn gave the message. Ingrid's daughter, Stephanie and her husband Gary sang "Ain't No Grave". Interment followed in the family plot in the Garden of St. Mark at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Pastor Kenneth Stumph officiating the committal service and Ingrid's children and their spouses serving as the casketbearers.
