Irene Cutler

July 21, 1928 - February 4, 2016

Irene Marie Head Cutler passed quietly and peacefully from this life to the next in the early morning hours of February 4, 2016 at the home of her daughter, Denise in Washington, Utah, where she had been living for ten years. Irene was born on July 21, 1928 in Princeton, Illinois, to Dwight “Jack” T. and Ollie Myrtle Birchmier Head. She had three brothers; Donald Thomas Head, Harold LaVern Head and Gerald Dean Head, all of whom have passed away. Her grandparents were Tobias George and Minnie Ella Levings Head and William Henry and Amanda Ellen Downing Birchmier. She married the love of her life Edward Cyrus Cutler on April 13, 1947 in Bloomfield, Iowa. They were blessed with five children; Jana Renee Pruitt of Mesquite, Nevada, Charlotte Elaine (Richard) Boyer of Cedar City, Utah, Stephen Paul (Nancy) Cutler of Bloomfield, Iowa, Debra Denise Cutler of Washington, Utah and Mark Edward (Lisa) Cutler of Bloomfield, Iowa. Ed and Irene lived their lives on farms in southeastern Iowa where they raised all five children. Here they taught their children the joy of hard work by taking care of farm animals and planting and harvesting the crops. Edward was killed in a farm accident on October 1, 1998 and soon afterwards Irene moved to Utah to be close to her three daughters, leaving the two boys to run the farms. Irene loved to dance and she was always fixing meals for many family occasions. Ed and Irene took some trips in their later lives together, which they both enjoyed. She is survived by her children; 17 grandchildren; and 36 great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 12, 2016 at the Wagler Funeral Home in Bloomfield.
