SHUTT, Lois Bernice

The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, Arizona Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Lois Bernice Shutte passed quietly on Feb. 5 in her Savior’s loving arms. She was born Jan. 1, 1921 in Chicago, Ill., to Paul Matthew and Minerva Grace Gruoner. She graduated from Morgan Pike High School in Chicago and from Business College. She married Charles Raymond Schutte on Feb. 14, 1942 in Chicago at the St. John The Divine Lutheran Church. Ray and Lois had a son and daughter, Paul Federick and Kathleen Ann Schutte. While Ray was in the service, they lived in San Francisco. After the war was over, they returned to Chicago, and then Ray was transferred to St. Louis, Mo. Another transfer took the family to Denver, Colo. They retired in Marceline, Mo., Ray’s boyhood home, and they built their home on a lake. After Ray passed away, Lois moved to Wickenburg to be closer to her daughter and family. Lois had been living in a group home in Surprise for the past several years. She was a very loving mother, devoted wife, and friend to many. She has many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who remember her with love. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday (March 4) at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Wickenburg.
