Mary Ruth (nee Schilmiller) Kutter was born June 15, 1927 to Louis and Ruth (nee Brown) Schilmiller and passed away March 16, 2022 at the age of 94.
Mary was the ultimate Mother to all who knew her. When she was younger, she cared for her family, when her own mother died young, and then getting married to Anthony and raising 7 children of their own, in a blessed marriage that lasted 72 years. She was the perfect example of God's grace by giving herself to others. She expressed this love for her family through baking and cooking, which gave her the most satisfaction. She enjoyed traveling whenever and wherever she got the opportunity and relaxed with the peacefulness of a good jigsaw puzzle. She was the epitome of strength, selflessness and loyalty.
She is survived by her children, Richard Anthony (Kathy) Kutter, Jacinta (Keith) Valiquette, Rose Ann (Ken) Back, Mary Frances (Rob) Kay, Michael (Kim) Kutter, Mark Kutter and Therese (Rhea) Scott; grandchildren, Richard (Ella) Kutter, Greg (Meaghan) Kutter, Susie (Brian) Marsh, Andrew (Corrie) Valiquette, Jim (Amy) Back, John (Amanda) Back, Chris (Kate) Witte, Nick Kay, David (Angie) Kutter, Tom (Danielle) Kutter, Amy (Fred) Howard, Samantha Kutter, Allison Nimitz and Jacob Scott; 24 great grandchildren; and a sister Lucille Fessel.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Anthony Francis "Tony" Kutter, and her siblings Louis Schilmiller, Vincent Schilmiller, Bud Schilmiller, and Frances Hess.
