Lois Clutz was the daughter of Henry Guyer Rumberger and Edith Estelle Dornblaser.
She was a 1928 graduate of Westport High School in Kansas City, Missouri and a 1933 graduate of the University of Kansas where she was a member of the MacDowell Fraternity.
She married Charles Clutz in 1934 in the Old Lutheran Church of Reformation, Rochester, NY.
They had four sons, Charles N. (Chic), James, Thomas and William. They bought, personally restored and lived in a 120 year old brick home at 164 Gibbs Street, Rochester, in 1970. The project was a success because they both loved antiques, she was an artist and he was a skilled hobbyist in woodworking. Their son Charles, a Boston Architect, and his three brothers provided moral support and manual labor. The well restored home was a tribute to all of their work.
Lois authored a book, The Eastman School of Music and the Eastman Theatre, in 1975.
Lois was a resident of St. John’s Eden Alternative Community, Rochester, when she passed away.
