Kathy Stutzman

CUYAHOGA FALLS - On December 16, 2014, Kathy J. Stutzman died peacefully surrounded by family and friends.
She was born January 28, 1954 in Johnstown, PA. She graduated from Stow-Munroe Falls High School in 1972 and went on to attend nursing school at Idabelle Firestone School of Nursing. She was employed at Summa Health System and Crystal Clinic Orthopedic Center for over 30 years where she worked as an orthopedic surgery nurse.
Kathy loved being a nurse and always hoped she would be able to return to working with her extended family of nurses and doctors where she was greatly respected.
Kathy loved to work with stained glass, to weld and loved to go to tag sales. All of those skills were combined in her greatest passion, gardening. Kathy became a master gardener and created many yard art pieces for her flower beds. Her favorite accomplishment was her very large waterfall she created in her backyard. She also loved attending the Sugar Plum Holiday Home Tour in Hudson every year with her sisters.
Preceded in death by her father Marvin G. Stutzman, she is survived by her mother Shirley G. Stutzman, siblings Cindy Kahn, Amy (Richard)Schilling, Scott (Gina) Stutzman; nieces and nephews Damein and Samantha Stutzman, Elizabeth, Emma and Eric Schilling; special friend Terri Angelo, along with many friends and relatives. Special thanks to Summa Hospice Dr. Britni Lookabaugh, nurse Judy, Dr. Mahesh and all the loving caregivers that touched her life.
Hospice of Summa Chaplain Mike Schaub will conduct service Saturday 5 PM at Redmon Funeral Home, where friends may call from 3 PM until service time. Cremation will follow.
