Patricia Kutsch Obituary

Patricia E. Kutsch, 86, of Perkasie, passed away on Friday, January 24, 2025, at Grandview Hospital in Sellersville, PA.

Patricia was born on March 21, 1938, in Philadelphia, PA. She was the daughter of the late Charles and Alfreda (Bajor) Scott. 

Pat was married to her late husband John Kutsch for 53 years. Pat & John were co-owners of Clover Janitorial Service Corporation. Patricia did the bookwork for the company as well as negotiating new contracts.

Pat loved to travel. She took trips with her sister Delores to Seattle, Washington, and Alaska “to visit their brother Charles” as well as local bus trips to Niagara Falls. Patricia also took trips with her husband to Hawaii and Germany. 

Pat and John had two children, John and Denice. John and Denice were raised in a home which was warm in love and rich in music and entertainment. Patricia loved to entertain friends and family! Denice remembers lively weekends filled with neighbors, friends, and great home cooking. Denice has said it was a wonderful time growing up. Favorite memories include horseback riding, snowmobiling, and special birthday dinners. One of Denice’s favorite birthdays was her 13th birthday which included horseback riding with her parents and then dinner at the Cock and Bull Restaurant in Lahaska, Pennsylvania. 

Patricia is survived by two beautiful grandchildren, Louis & Chris. Once Louis and Chris entered the world, they became their whole world. Pat & John were so committed to their grandkids that by the time the boys were three and seven, they sold their home and moved next door to Denice. Pat, John, Denice, and the boys did everything together. Denice and the kids really enjoyed having them live next door. 

Once Patricia’s husband passed away, she moved to Rio Grande, New Jersey where she became an active member of the community. Pat was a member of the Elks and a volunteer at the local church where she managed distribution of food and clothing through the church’s outreach program. When Pat was not giving back to the community, she was hosting dinner parties, going to the movies, playing pinochle, going out to dinner shows, or going dancing at the Elks in North Wildwood with friends and her sister. 

Patricia was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend. She cared very deeply for the people she knew, always being there for them when they needed help. 

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her late husband: John Kutsch; and brother: Charles Scott, Jr. 

She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter: Denice Cragin and husband Bill; grandsons: Louis and his wife Sarah, and Christopher; granddaughter: Arielle and her husband Mike; greatgrandchildren: Nora, Bryce, Max, Miles, and Alexandra; and sister: Delores Sullivan. 

Patricia would give to Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, PA.

Services will be private. 

Arrangements are in the care of the C.R. Struck Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown, PA.
