Ann Marie Dutter

Ann Marie Dutter, 68, a resident of Spring Brook Twp. since 1963, died Sunday morning at home. Her husband of 46 years is Peter F. Dutter.

Born in Pittston, daughter of the late John and Marie Sweetra Stravinski, she was a graduate of Pittston Area High School, where she was a cheerleader. She was employed for many years as a waitress at the Cardinal Inn, Spring Brook Twp.
