Mary Warner Lutz

on Thursday, May 4, 2023. She was born April 4,1931 in Elizabeth, New Jersey to

Edward Tenney Warner and Clarissa Condon Warner.

Mary met her beloved husband Thomas Lutz in 1960 when they were both employed at

Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. It was Mary's beautiful and

unforgettable smile that captivated Tom from the start. Prior to her employment with Bell

Laboratories Mary worked as an Administrative Assistant in Public Relations for the

ESSO Oil Corporation located at Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan across the street from

St. Patrick's Cathedral. A devout Catholic, St. Patrick's was a place near and dear to her

heart. She frequently attended Mass there and found much solace in her faith. Mary

attended Seton Hall University and graduated from Holy Trinity High School in

Westfield, NJ.

Throughout her life Mary devoted her life to others. She selflessly gave of her time by

volunteering for numerous charitiable organizations and churches. Mary was also

instrumental in reestablishing the Cherokee County Republican Women's Club. She

was a member of the Magna Charta Dames Society and the Daughters of the American

Revolution (DAR).

Mary had several past-times. She enjoyed playing the piano, especially at parties.

When hosting social gatherings she was known as the "hostess with the most-est" and

was a true lady in every sense of the word. She enjoyed playing bridge. She loved

playing cards with her grandchildren and had the ability to make almost any situation

humorous. She was exceptionally kind and always extremely grateful for the smallest

kindnesses shown to her. One of her favorite songs was "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know"

which was written by her ancestor Susan B. Warner in the 1800s. She led a Christian

life and encouraged others to do the same.

Mary was predeceased by her parents, Clarissa Condon Warner and Edward Tenney

Warner, brothers George Hopkins Warner and John William Warner. Her father and

brothers all served as Marines during war time.

She will be sorely missed by her devoted husband Thomas Lutz of Woodstock, GA; her

children Karen Lutz Armstrong of Newport, RI, Susan Bruno of Woodstock,GA; Thomas

A. Lutz (Kathleen Mass Lutz) of Auburn, MA, and John Lutz of Virginia Beach, VA. She

is survived by nine grandchildren whom she adored, Amanda, Nicholas and Wesley

Bruno; Danielle, Gabriel and Patrick Lutz; Gwen, Colin, and Tommy Lutz, and her great

grandson Rylan. Mary and her husband Tom would have celebrated their sixty-first

wedding anniversary this week on May 12th.
