BETTY MAE LUTHER, 93, died June 5, 2001, at Providence Hospital after a short illness. Service was at Chapel by the Sea, 14730 Turnagain Bluff Way, with graveside services at Angelus Memorial Park, followed by a celebration of life.
Mrs. Luther was born Dec. 28, 1907, in Aurora, Iowa. She came to Alaska with her husband and young son in 1944. Mrs. Luther worked as a teacher in Iowa and was a bookkeeper for the Alaska Railroad until she retired to become a partner with her husband in Pioneer Realty. She was active in real estate affairs, church groups and other organizations. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, fishing and hunting, gardening and cooking. Her family said: ''Betty was a wonderful person and a truly awesome mother and grandmother. She was very family oriented, yet a very capable, independent woman when she needed to be. Shortly after arriving in Alaska, she became the first one in her family to harvest a moose. She especially enjoyed the company of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.'' Mrs. Luther was preceded in death by her husband, Howard C. Luther Sr.; parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orville King; brother, Howard King; sisters, Alice Wells and Marie and Ruth King; grandsons, Greg and Ted Luther; and great-grandchildren, Jamie and Kate Lynn Luther.
