After living two years in New York, she and her husband moved to Milwaukee in 1949, where she quickly became an active community volunteer while raising their growing family.

She was a trustee of Milwaukee Downer Seminary, Smith College and Lawrence University and received the Pro Urbe Award from Mount Mary College for community service.

In 1973, Mrs. Cutler chaired the United Way of Milwaukee (then Community Chest) annual campaign, the only woman to be sole chairman. Mrs. Cutler was a co-founder of the Great Lakes Maritime History Association and she co-authored with Walter Hirthe, "Six Fitzgerald Brothers, Lake Captains All."
