Clutter, Jr., one daughter, Cheryl Ann Clutter; three brothers, Robert Cummins, Charles Cummins, and baby James Cummins; and six sisters, Frances Lytton, Shirley Phillips, Betty Sprowls, Mary Pettit, Judy McDonough, and Maureen Main. The family would particularly like to thank Mary Ebach, Sue Boehm, Lori Gadley, and Lisa Mikovich, as well as Interim Healthcare of Erie Hospice and Saint Mary's Home of Erie, for the wonderful care they provided to Dody.
