Deceased Adventist Couple, COSTCO Members, Leave Huge Quantities of Supplies to Church

Share


When Wilbur and Agnes Stillbody passed away within a month of one another leaving their entire estate to the church, the conference trusts and wills director was surprised to discover that a large part of the estate was massive quantities of COSTCO merchandize.

ā€œIt was such a good deal if you bought in quantity,ā€ Agnes said in a note she left. ā€œWe couldn’t pass it up.ā€

Before the conference can sell their house, they will have to dispose of an entire room of huge packages of paper towels and toilet paper. Other rooms had a lifetime supply of COSTCO pants, shirts and underwear, as well as four freezers full of frozen meat and vegetables, and another room of various kinds of snack foods.

ā€œEvery time we got a free sample,ā€ wrote Agnes, ā€œwe bought enough so we wouldn’t run out.ā€

They didn’t.

ā€œWe’ll distribute the paper products to all the schools in the whole conference,ā€ the trust director said. The food was distributed to all the pastors and teachers in lieu of a year-end Christmas bonus.
