Eileen RUTTER Obituary

RUTTER - Eileen G. (nee Carr) September 13, 2016 of Town of Tonawanda, NY, age 57; dear daughter of Maureen (Callahan) and the late John Carr; beloved wife of Donald H. Rutter Jr.; loving mother of Marty, Molly, Danny and Sally; sister of Maura (Pat) Duffey, Jack (Sandy) Carr, Katie (Kent) Conshafter, Maggie (Tom) Marren; aunt of Colleen and Bridget. Friends may call Friday 4-8 PM at the LESTER H. WEDEKINDT, INC. FUNERAL HOME, 3290 Delaware Ave. Relatives and friends are invited attend a Mass of Christian Burial Saturday at 11 AM at St. Timothy's Church, 563 East Park Dr., Tonawanda. Eileen attended St. Paul School in Kenmore and Cardinal O'Hara High School before attending Bryant and Stratton Business School. Family was Eileen's love and joy and she loved her career choice of being a stay at home mom, the most important job on earth. She was especially fond of family outings to Allegany State Park throughout her childhood. She loved family events and took special pride in decorating for Halloween and Christmas. She loved to dance, ice skate and roller skate to the music of her era and was especially good at it. Her favorite rock tune was Free Bird. Eileen was strong willed, outgoing and had a beautiful heart. Strangers were even attracted to her personality. The family wishes to thank all those who cared for her and supported her over the last 12 months. Donations may be made to Eileen's family through www.gofundme.com/2gtkwvnw
