Anita Kutasz Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She is predeceased by her beloved husband Robert J. A. (Chunky) Kutasz and her parents, George and Anna Novack of Holbrook. She leaves her daughter, Tanya Kutasz, of Quincy and her brother and sister-in-law, Richard and Judi Novack, of Spring Hill, Florida along with cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Animals brought Anita joy, and she owned many dogs and cats throughout her lifetime. She spent countless happy days outside in her garden. She made Quincy her home about 50 years ago and always praised the city for its diversity, strong sense of community, and its proximity to nature, especially to the ocean.
Those wishing to honor Anita are asked to send a donation to the Quincy Animal Shelter, the Animal Rescue League of Boston, or any other animal welfare organizations.

Mrs. Kutasz came into my life as a troubled 8th grader more than 40 years ago. She completely turned my life around and I would say she was the very first person who believed in me. I'm saddened to hear of her passing. But I have faith that one day we will meet again. May God keep your family and friends comforted.

Anita was a true Christian and generous to a fault. She was so kind to her neighbors including us when we lived at 22 Park Street. Our Christmas and Easters were so full of her laughter. We moved in 1997 and have stayed in touch. She will be greatly missed. The universe has lost a star!

Anita was a great neighbor and friend, interested in the arts, knowledgeable about growing plants and trees, a devoted animal lover, and a passionate advocate for the Quincy and Wollaston communities. One of her passion projects was advocating to preserve the trees of Wollaston from harmful effects of low level gas leaks from aging underground infrastructure. She was incredible treasure of information on a host of interesting topics, a thoughtful and considerate neighbor, and she will be sorely missed!
With deepest sympathy,
Bruce and LeAnne Blakeslee

She was involved in political causes attending city council,school com, zoning board mtgs. We took petitions for signatures of a former city councilor,when city wanted to close Beale st firehouse etal She volunteered for Safford park cleanup. We went to many local events ie concerts @ Thomas Crane,local plays,church fairs, garden club,yard sales Greek festivals. We went to so many places I can not name them all. We did go to art shows @ the MFA She could tell me (I am not artistic) brush strokes color and light.
She enjoyed her paper making classes. We'd go to Wollaston and Nantasket beaches for her to collect seaweed, for the first step in her paper making.
Yes, she respected all animals,if a mouse in the house she would trap it in a large Dunkin cup get in the car and release it. One night she was going out and saw an opposum on her front porch to not disturb it went out her back door. A female turkey was in the backyard she fed it. Next am she was having her breakfast and it was looking in at her, She stopped eating to go out to feed it as
she could't eat while it was hungry. So many great meals at Tonys on Woll beach we would have to go see what was @ the Sailors pond fish,turtles, egrets and bullfrogs, Being home she watched WGBH Nature and their other animal shows, art shows and concerts esp the Everly bros. She had 2 great loves of her life her dau Tanya who has been taking care of her @home and rearranging her life to be available for appts , hosp. rehab.Shopping/preparing food and meds Thank-you Tanya. Her other love was her husband Bob she was very much in love with him. He died way to soon 45 yrs ago now I hope you are together, Anita was a great dear friend and I will miss her Sally Carella
