Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday September 02, 2007

LaCorda L. O'Brien August 31, 1923 - August 29, 2007 Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Let us remember w/thankgiving what GOD has done through His servant LaCorda O'Brien. LaCorda LuElla (Schuetz) O'Brien was given life by her Creator and was born on August 31, 1923, the child of Rev. Henry and Mrs. Emily Schuetz, in Scotland, South Dakota. Soon thereafter, at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Scotland she received the gift of Holy baptism and became a child of God. And at the same Church, also by her father, she was confirmed, publicly confessing her faith in Jesus Christ and was given Isaiah 54:10 as her Confirmation Verse: "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor My covenant of peace be removed." Says the LORD, who has compassion on you. NIV On December 12, 1945 she received the gift of her beloved husband, Brad O'Brien and were married. She was then blessed with the gift of: Alice Depew of Blufton SC, Candace Jones of Clarksburg MD, Patty O'Brien of Morgan Hill CA, and Sharon Sedillo of Albuquerque NM, her beloved children. And now also gifted with their families. God blessed LaCorda's life with many special people as she served God in churches, and in community. Finally, on August 29, 2007 GOD blessed LaCorda with a holy death and took her to her Heavenly Home, to rest in the arms of Jesus. The LORD gives and the LORD takes away; yet in the faith we say: Blessed be the Name of the Lord. We thanks to God our Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, for our sister in Christ, LaCorda, who lives before Him. Memorial Services will be at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 210 Alvarado SE, Albuquerque, NM, 256-9881, Sunday September 9, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to Redeemer Lutheran Church.
