She was born in Bad Soden, Germany and emigrated to the United States in 1971.

She had a love of the outdoors and nature, finding joy in gardening and rescuing countless animals throughout her life. Jutta also loved to watch movies and spend time with her family, especially her beloved grandchildren, Liam and Declan. Jutta was the best mom that one could ask for, she was caring, supportive, thoughtful, and generous. Her love and devotion to her family will be missed beyond measure.
