Shirley Kutis Obituary
Shirley Ann Kutis, Age 79, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2017. From her birth January 3, 1938 in Moline Illinois to Melvin and Matilda Jay, she brightened the lives of everyone she met. Never one to miss the opportunity to say hi to a stranger, she made friends everywhere she went. Shirley loved horses and animals. From an early age, she would bring injured animals home and nurse them back to health. Once her children came along, Shirley quit her job at Mountain Bell to devote her life to them. From PTA to band trips, she was involved in her children's school and extracurricular activities. After her children graduated and Joe retired, she shifted her activities to traveling and building their home in Chino Valley where she could ride her horses and enjoy rural living. She is survived by her husband of 57 years Joseph, siblings, Dorothy, Melanie (Pablo), and Bill (Gretta), her three children David (Daniela), Karen (Tim), and Mike (Kelly), 8 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Celebration of life will be August 26, 2017 at 2pm at Hampton Funeral Home, 240 S. Cortez St, Prescott, AZ 86303. Reception following at her home in Chino Valley. 3310 W. Cindy Lane, Chino Valley, AZ 85323
