Louise Mary Shutter (Clews) passed away on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024, at Spang Crest in Lebanon. She was lulled into the arms of her beloved late husband, Craig, by the tunes of Barry Manilow with her daughters by her side.
Louise was born on Dec. 30, 1939, in Centralia, PA, and was the daughter of the late Elmer and Anna (Levan) Clews.
She was a 1957 graduate of Lebanon High School and married Craig E. Shutter on March 17, 1962. Before Craig’s passing in 2017, they celebrated 55 years of marriage. Louise retired in 2005 from Hallmark Management Service, where she spent 17 years managing the Faculty Dining Room at Lebanon Valley College. She never met a plant she could say no to. She was an avid gardener and took great pride in her flower garden. Louise’s love language was baking. If you knew her, chances were, you were the recipient of chocolate chip cookies or blueberry muffins. She considered herself Barry Manilow’s #1 Fan and attended numerous concerts over the years.
Louise is survived by two daughters, Robin L. Searle, of Wyomissing, and Jennifer S. Stutzman (Richard), of Lebanon; three grandchildren, Jason Searle, Ava Stutzman, and Lila Stutzman; one brother, Ralph Clews (Kathleen); and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Craig; and siblings, Walter Clews, Robert Clews, Eugene (Sonny) Clews, John Weyman, and Shirley Clements.
Viewing will be on Monday, Oct. 21, 2024, from 10-11 a.m., at Christman’s Funeral Home, Inc., 226 Cumberland St., Lebanon. Burial will follow at 11:30 a.m. at Covenant Greenwood Cemetery in Ebenezer.
