Richard Stump

Mr. Richard Stump, 75, of Lebanon, passed away Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at his home. He was born June 20, 1951, in Indianapolis, a son of the late Omer Willis and Charlotte Marie (Powell) Stump. On April 3, 2008, Richard married Lori Quesnel, and she survives.

Richard worked as a clerk at Kroger for many years. He found great joy in the outdoors and especially enjoyed hiking and taking long walks. A devoted fan of The Andy Griffith Show, Richard appreciated its timeless humor and simple values.

Gifted with a creative spirit, Richard enjoyed woodworking and built several birdhouses, a dollhouse, and handcrafted Christmas trees. He also loved playing the drums and had a special place in his heart for dogs. His faithful companions, Buddy and Sweetie, were more than pets—they were his walking partners and loyal friends.

In addition to his parents, Richard was preceded in death by his wife, Beverly Hine; brothers, Ronnie and Dennis Stump; and sisters, Charlene Sanders, Shirley Whittmore, and Gail Colwell and her son, Joey Colwell.
