Kenneth Coutts Obituary
Selinsgrove, PA - Kenneth Joseph Coutts, 86, of Selinsgrove, was called to his heavenly home on Friday, August 13th. Born on August 3rd 1935 in Johnstown, PA the son of Kenneth and Mary Katherine Coutts.
At age 17 he committed his life to Jesus Christ whom he followed faithfully for 69 years. On August 11th 1962 he married his college sweetheart, Judith P. Coutts. He earned a BA in Biology and Bible from Barrington College, A Master of Divinity from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and a Master of Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
He worked as a probation officer for 30 years in Bergen County, NJ. Ken took great delight in his family: his loving wife, his three daughters and their families. He loved playing in the great outdoors with his 16 grandkids, especially in the North Maine Woods. He enjoyed fellowship with the Church of the Nazarene.
He was Mr. Fix-it and there was plenty to fix. He was known to stay up late rocking and reading. He kept things lively with his banjo and continual supply of puns. He will be greatly missed by his wife, his two sisters, his three daughters and their families.
A celebration of Kenneth's life will be held at 11:00 AM Saturday, August 21st, at Selinsgrove Church of the Nazarene, 543 W. Sassafras Street, Selinsgrove followed by a luncheon. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Selinsgrove Church of the Nazarene. The V. L. Seebold Funeral Home, Selinsgrove is assisting the family with the arrangements.

Thank you Ken, for the 30 years you gave to the Judiciary. You have been a source of inspiration, motivation and dedication to those of us who seek justice and for those who depend upon us to tell their stories. Your faith was the Polaris during a three decade journey.

Ken provided the mature Christian guidance Ginny and I needed when we first became believers . The Coutts family was a consistent model for us to emulate. Four decades later we are still grateful for that influence.

We are so sad for the loss of Ken. He always made us feel a part of all at MEFC, a kind, caring, thoughtful person who will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
