OLIVER C. LUTZ
On the morning of Saturday, September 8th, 2018, Oliver Clinton Lutz of Troy passed away quietly at the Memorial Hospital Skilled Nursing Unit in Towanda. He was 89 years of age. Born December 21st, 1928 in the town of Delaware, NJ, he was the son of Elmer and Olive (Quick) Lutz. He was the husband of the former Elizabeth Kuhnle, and together they raised four children. Oliver was a man with a strong work ethic. Over the years he was employed at the Troy milk plant and later the Columbia Crossroads milk plant. Eventually he owned and operated his own dairy farm and whitewashed barn interiors in his spare time. Oliver was a man with an abiding faith in the Lord, and he shared that faith with his community when he became a lay minister. He also enjoyed the company of friends, and for several years hosted a Tuesday morning coffee klatch for his friends and neighbors.
Oliver is survived by his son Terry (& Deb) Lutz of Troy, daughters Patricia Fleming of Granville Summit, Connie (& Ed) Hulslander of Canton and Sally (& Roger) Hulslander of Troy, sisters Elma Manahan of Towanda, JoAnn (& Robert) Gray of Carlisle, Pa., Juanita (& Donald) Williams of Towanda, brothers Ivan (& Betty) Lutz of Towanda and Nate Lutz of Gregory, Pa., sisters-in-law Naomi (& Duane) Pepper of Monroeton, Edith Darrow of Troy and Donna (& Charles) Madigan of Towanda, as well as 8 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
