It is with great sadness that the family of Koraley Orritt announces her death on Friday, June 9th at 12.40 PM following several months battling the physical and mental ravages of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. She leaves to mourn, her husband Paul, her six children, Aeron, Seann (Amy), Evan, Katie, Josh and Brooke, her step-son, Dan (Darial), her surviving siblings, Phil (Diane) and Cheryl (Wayne), four grandchildren, Caleb, Abi, Emily and Myles Odin, and a large extended family. We all grieve,… but not as those without hope (1THES 3.13).
Koraley was born Joan Adele Warmington on February 2, 1955 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and she spent her early childhood years between Saskatoon, SK and Lloydminster. As she entered her teen years her family moved to Langley, British Columbia.
In Langley she excelled in academics as well as winning awards for her art work. She left formal schooling in Grade 10, entering Hairdressing School, there achieving perfect grades for her work and began to apprentice. After her father’s early and untimely death, she completed her Grade 10 and then put herself through Barbering School, again achieving perfect grades and winning the award of Best Apprentice for British Columbia. She competed internationally in Europe for men’s hair styling.
In her late teens she moved to Vancouver and by the time she was eighteen owned 10 acres of land in Prince George, BC. At nineteen she owned a half share in a new house in Langley. It was shortly after this that Koraley began to pursue her love of art, apprenticing at a professional artist’s studio full time and supporting herself through her hair styling. At twenty-three and in a relationship with Jon Einerssen (a fellow artist) her first son, Aeron, was born. It was at this time she legally changed her name to Koraley Tayler Einerssen. Moving to Anglemont, BC, and with the birth of her two other sons, Seann and Evan, she embraced motherhood as her primary vocation, developed a hairdressing business for additional revenue, and also began to develop and create an instruction method for what would become the foundation of her art school. During this time she also become a very successful realtor in the Shushwap area.
In the late eighties, as a single mother of her three boys, she moved to Okotoks, Alberta, where she began to teach and sell art as her primary means of support. Koraley would often say that as she grew into adulthood she had looked for God in all the wrong places, studying every ‘ology’ there was. However, on November 11, 1990 it was God that came looking for her and in a dramatic turn of events she committed her life to the Lord Jesus. Six months later she met Paul, six months later they were married and for the last twenty-five years she stood by his side sharing the burdens and delights of pastoral ministry, first in Okotoks and then, until her illness, in Oak Harbor, Washington.
During their marriage, three children, Katie, Josh and Brooke were born whom she mothered with every fiber of her being. She founded and developed a very successful art school with more than one hundred students, then owned and operated a flourishing farm, providing naturally fed poultry and meat to many high-end restaurants in the Puget Sound, all while maturing in her evangelistic and prophetic gifts and sharing with Paul in ministry whenever she was able to do so.
For those who knew her, she was compassionate, self-giving and generous, always the consummate hostess. She was an entrepreneur, and it seemed that whatever she touched would grow and develop a hundred-fold. She thought well outside the box and was ready to tackle anything for the Lord, understanding, but not daunted by the risk involved. When she put her hands to the plow she was indefatigable. Her life was all about the Lord, then her family and then the Church, as she reached out to others with the Good News about Jesus that had filled her life.
A Requiem Eucharist and celebration of her life will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Okotoks, on Saturday, June 17 at 3 PM.
