Eleanor Lutz Obituary
Eleanor Kathryn "Ellie" Lutz, of West Haverstraw, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2015, with her loving family by her side. She was 71 years old. Ellie was born on September 9, 1943 to Walter and Eleanor (Schlegel) Blass in Queens, NY. She went to school at Mineola High School and worked at The Nassau County Extension Service.

Ellie worked at Stony Point Presbyterian Church as an administrative assistant, and Weichert Realtors as an office manager for many years. She will be remembered for her love of family, friends, traveling, the ocean, for her smile and her warm and caring nature.
Ellie is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years, Frank, and by her loving children, Christopher, Deborah, Terase, Ron, Alicia and Michael, and by her adored grandchildren, Christopher, Elizabeth, Michael Jr., Brandi, Ronnie, Amber and Kyle; as well as her two great-grandchildren David and Emily; and by countless friends.
Ellie is predeceased by her brother Alfred Blass, and by her parents Walter and Eleanor Blass.

My Mom was the strongest, kindest, most warm hearted, so full of life woman I've ever known. I can only hope I am as great a mother to my son that she was to me. Not a day will go by that I won't miss her. Until we meet again, RIP Mommy.

Never new Ellie very well met on a couple different occasions over many years. But the first time was at Chris and debs wedding. Got the best feeling of love and acceptance and great imagination from her that night. And from that know lots of where her son Chris came From. You, Chris had a great mom for many years and for that I am so happy for you. You are good to go after some time probably a long time but you have your loving wife and friends to help you through. Your dad however may need your help. I am sure you will be there for him as gary has just arrived home after being with his mom for a week. We come from our parents and we friends are so blessed to have had loving moms and dads. Have great faith in you Chris to carry on in this world for now as we know it. Rest assured your mom will be missed but she at this moment is well taken care of. Love Terri

We met Ellie as part of the Carbide family in the very early 1970's. Great energy and fun to be with. Oktoberfest's in TTY, etc. Ellie & Frank came to our wedding. Ellie's premature death is stunning and so saddening. Our sincere thoughts for Frank and family. Frank, we will see you this summer. Kathy & Dan
