1972630
died peacefully at
her home in
Farmington Hills on
April 7, 2015.
Barbara, as she
was always known to
Lutz
family and friends,
was a woman of
uncommon beauty,
aesthetic taste, warmth, sensitivity and
intelligence.
She was born to Abe and Esther
Kass on Jan. 1, 1934. She graduated
from Detroit's Central High School in
1951 and received her B.A. in educa-
tion from Wayne State University in
1955.
Barbara and Joel, son of Harry and
Clara Lutz, were married on June 20,
1955, followed by a reception regarded
by all as "the best party of the year:'
Whether at their home in Farmington
Hills, Palm Beach, Fla., or Leland,
Mich., Barbara was the consummate
hostess for family and friends.
A loving daughter and daughter-in-
law, Barbara cared for all her parents
until their deaths. She was devoted to
her husband, Joel, throughout 60 years
of marriage; and the strength of this
relationship only grew as her illness
progressed during the last 15 years.
Mrs. Lutz was the beloved wife of
Joel Lutz. She is also survived by a
daughter, Lori Lutz (Greg Gamalski); a
son, Howard Lutz (Cindy); grandchil-
dren, Clara and Eleanor Gamalski and
Sasha and Mac Hyman. The family is
deeply grateful to Barbara's incredible
caregiver of four years, Martha Sappor
Woods.
Interment was held at Clover Hill
Park Cemetery in Birmingham.
