Mary Dutton Obituary

Beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2013.

Mary was born Oct. 20, 1916 in New York City, the eldest child of Rose and John Bertuccio.

She was a parishioner of St. Raphael's Church and member of the Women's Auxiliary; a bookkeeper for many years at Gray's Floor Coverings; an advanced Bridge player; a gifted seamstress; and a lifelong fan of the Dodgers.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Lendon "Fred" Dutton, as well as her 3 siblings, Eleanor Sullivan, Lee Marano, and Joe Bertucclo.

She is survived by her daughter Rosemary Fatano, her granddaughter Nicole Chandler, grandson-in-law Shane Chandler, and great-grand daughter Zaylia Rose Chandler, and many nieces and nephews.

Mary will be remembered always as an amazing wife, mother and grandmother; a kind, gentle, and loving person who always exhibited grace. Her love will remain in our hearts forever.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests donations to the Villa Alamar Employee Fund, 45 E. Alamar.

A Mass in her honor will be held on Nov. 13, 12:05, at St. Raphael's Church.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
