My Aunt Mary. She was my father's older sister and my grandparent's only daughter.

NORTHFIELD — Mary Lutz, 91, formally of Newton Road, passed away peacefully at Cook Willow Health Center in Plymouth on Tuesday, March 16, 2010. She was the widow of Joseph G. Lutz who had been raised in the Thomaston area.
Mary was the only daughter of eight children born to Italian immigrant parents, Elia and Emilia Terenzi of Brooklyn, N.Y., where she met and married her sweetheart. After starting a family of three children, Joseph, Marie and Larry, they moved to the Thomaston area for a few years before returning to Brooklyn. The family eventually moved to Long Island where she spent her latter years after her husband, Joe, died in 1977, until she moved to a mother-daughter apartment with her daughter, Marie, and son-in-law, Burt Weeks, in Northfield, who cared for her dearly these past seven years.
During those early years, Mary worked in part-time sales of women's clothing in a number of high end-stores in Brooklyn and Long Island while raising her family, was blessed with eight grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren whose pictures literally obscured her refrigerator. In her latter years, she enjoyed traveling to distant places with a number of relatives, always taking her camera along. She kept busy, faithfully keeping her flowers and houseplants, and of course always baking those holiday cookies and making her famous rice pudding for her family. Mary had a blessed and full life even after dementia began to dim her memory.
She leaves three brothers, Italo and Larry, both of Long Island, and Joseph of Washington State; her three children, Joe Lutz of Long Island, Marie Weeks of Northfield, and Larry Lutz of Florida; eight grandchildren, and 17 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, and her brothers, Enio, Ezio, Egildo and Dante.
