She was employed by Ridge Tool where she met her husband of 61 years, John S. Cutter III.

She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

Besides being survived by her husband John, she is survived by daughters Laura Fildes (Jeff), Jeanne Wildenheim (Larry), granddaughter Rose Wildenheim, step granddaughter Lynda Amir(Dr. Hasan), and 3 step great-grandchildren.
