Madeline Mutch Obituary

MUTCH, MADELINE MAURER, 76, of Williams Street, Providence, passed away at home on Friday, July 25 after a courageous battle with cancer and surrounded by the love of her three daughters. She was the wife of the late Thomas (Tim) A. Mutch.

Born on January 5, 1932 in Wilkes Barre, PA , she was the daughter of Robert and Nerline Maurer. She received a nursing degree from the Columbia University School of Nursing in 1954. In 1960, she moved to Providence with her husband Tim and was active in church and community until her death.

She was the devoted mother of Patricia Mutch and her husband Robert King of Greensboro, NC, Wendelin Arnold and her husband Edward of Melrose, MA, and Margaret Williams and her husband Eric of La Canada, CA. She will be dearly missed by her 7 grandchildren who lovingly remember their summers with 'Mamu'. She was the sister of Barbara Hund of Norfolk, VA and the late Robert Maurer. Madeline will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Service at Central Congregational Church, 296 Angell Street, Providence, RI on Saturday, August 16 at 11:00 AM. Burial will be private.

Please accept my profound sympathy and regret, as well as great appreciation for the wonderful person Madeline was. Both she and Tim stand out vividly in my memory as generous and passionate people, who had a great and positive influence on others. I feel privileged to have known them during this lifetime.

I met your mom/sister when my then husband Allan M. Thompson was a graduate student in geology at Brown. Tim was his thesis advisor. She was less than ten years my senior and had three little girls. Allan and I had two girls, one of which now climbs mountains! Allan spent his entire teaching career at the University of Delaware, retiring last year. The Mutch family has always been special to us. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
