Elizabeth Mutchler Obituary

Elizabeth "Betty" Anne Mutchler, age 84, passed away on June 20, 2012, at her home in North Canton. The daughter of Stephen and Anne Kraszewski, she was born and raised in Akron's North Hill neighborhood, where she worked for over a decade as an executive secretary at B.F. Goodrich.

Married for 41 years as the beloved wife of the late Budd F. Mutchler, she is survived by her brother, Eugene Kraszewski; her children, Lisa Mutchler, Kurt Mutchler, Laura Donovan, Beth Rushing, and Erich Mutchler; and eight grandchildren.

Betty was a devoted wife and mother and had a strong religious faith, an independent nature, and could talk to anyone under the sun. She was an excellent seamstress, enjoyed her extended family and many friends, nature, hummingbirds, and was a keen observer of current events.

There will be a memorial Mass at the House of Loreto on Saturday, June 23, at 10 a.m., 2812 Harvard Ave. NW, Canton, OH 44709. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the House of Loreto.
