Kimberly I. McCain Studt
Kimberly I. McCain Studt, 66, of Allegheny Township passed on to her eternal home Friday, October 1, 2021, while at her home.
She was born August 16, 1955, and grew up in Leechburg.
From an early age, Kim professed faith in Christ as her Savior and lived out that faith throughout her life. Kim knew she wanted to be a teacher, and her first students were her four younger siblings.
As she entered high school, she began teaching in Bible school at Kiski Bible Church and was involved with the Child Evangelism Fellowship chapter in her area.
Kim was diagnosed with Keratoconus at the age of 16, but despite the physical pain and daily challenges of her diagnosis, she honed her abilities instead of focusing on her disability.
Kim graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Bob Jones University in May 1977.
The following summer, she received two corneal transplants and began her teaching career educating students in Christian schools in the area. It was while teaching in Washington that Kim met and eventually married her husband, Robert Studt.
She went on to teach for 35 years, retiring to homeschool her children. She continued to be involved in education, though, through Huntington Learning Centers afterschool program and helping local homeschooling families complete their annual school district evaluation paperwork.
Kim was an active member of Legacy Baptist Church in Houston.
Kim will forever be beloved and remembered by her family, her husband, Robert B. Studt; her daughter, Rebekah Sheets (wife of Matthew Sheets) of Canonsburg; and her son, Matthew Studt of Meadow Lands.
Kim is also survived by four siblings, Sally Brokke (wife of Dr. Daniel Brokke) of South Point, Ohio; Rebecca Rukes (wife of Gary Rukes) of Portage, Ind.; H. Daniel McCain (wife Carol McCain) of White; and Brian McCain of Miami, Fla.
“Aunt Deedi” was much beloved by her many nieces and nephews, and their children.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Harvey James McCain and Norma Yvonne “Bonnie” Bolen McCain.
Family and friends will be received from 5 to 6 p.m., the time of service, Friday, October 8, in William G. Neal Funeral Home, 925 Allison Avenue, Washington, with Pastor Clark officiating. Burial will be private.
