Paul Kistner Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Evan Kistner on June 27, 2025, at the age of 67, of Rutland, VT. He passed away peacefully at home in the presence of family and caretaker Eleanor Steinburg, after a ten-year battle with cancer.
Paul was born December 27, 1957, in Utica, NY, the son of the late Richard T. Kistner and Sally Lou Evan Kistner Jones.
After a few jobs, he settled in Rutland, VT, and recently retired from Rutland Regional Medical Center.
Surviving are his daughters, Christina (Mathew) Parrill and Amanda (Jacob) Omand; grandchildren Lilie-Ann Kistner, Jayden Kistner, Liam Parrill, Bentley Goodrich, Elizabeth Goodrich, Isabella Omand, and Adelynn Omand. He is survived by brothers, Neal (Elizabeth) Kistner and James Kistner. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
Paul was predeceased by a sister, Susan Brown, in 2008.
Paul was truly a people person who could strike up a conversation with absolute strangers. The joy of his life was his family.
The last thing to know about Paul is that he recently accepted Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, which gives us the hope of seeing him again. This change in his life made it possible for him to face death in peace, knowing of his personal destination of Heaven with Jesus as his Savior.
