About Stacey Carruthers
I am proud to be an Associate with Thrivent. My career in financial services began in a customer support role. I then spent 15 years in my most fulfilling role, raising four beautiful children. Transitioning out of being a stay-at-home mom involved a lot of prayer to discern what was next for my career. I was looking to begin working outside of the home while my youngest child was in school, and Bryan was looking for part-time support in his office. It was the perfect opportunity to step into a new role without sacrificing being very involved in my kids’ school, sports, and activities.
My work with the team has grown and expanded over the years. I believe in this work and the impact that it has on people’s lives so much so that my whole family works with this team. This includes my kids who are starting early on their financial journeys!
As an Associate, I want you to have someone who you can pick up the phone and call. There are so many situations in life that could use some input or another set of eyes. Having a real person to work with on both the little and big things, who understands you and wants the best for you, is extremely valuable. I want to help you plan and protect what you have so that you are prepared even for the unexpected.
My family is my greatest motivation. I am privileged to be married to Brad, and to be the mother of Lilli, Stuart, Kian, and Tavish. A significant part of our lives revolves around supporting our kids in their sports activities, whether it’s cheering them on at the hockey rink, baseball field, or volleyball court. At home, I enjoy cooking, canning, and gardening, as these activities bring us together around the kitchen table. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors with our three dogs.
