Edith was born February 22, 1918 in Burnhamville Township, to George and Rose (Noyes) Harris. She married Ralph T. Kutter on December 10th, 1938 in Grey Eagle. The couple raised their family on a farm on the north shore of Big Birch Lake. Edith was passionate about many things in life, but first and foremost was her family and circle of friends.

After Edith and Ralph retired from farming, they moved across the street to their lake home. Edith took great pride in knowing her history, especially as it related to people and events on Big Birch. In addition to her noted culinary skills, she was a talented decorator, and seamstress, who enjoyed crocheting and embroidery.

Knowing Edith meant also knowing Kraemer, her constant K-9 companion for 15 years. She and that loveable miniature schnauzer were inseparable.

Edith is survived by her children Lee (Gay), Robert (Nancy), Michael (Janine) Kutter, all of Grey Eagle, and Carol (Roger) Lahr of Sartell. Six grandchildren, Amy Hinman, Peg Tenney, Dan, Jason and Michael Kutter, and Matthew Everding; multiple great and great, great-grandchildren along with many loving nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; son Thomas, husband Ralph, and sisters Carol Thompson, Bessie Young, Lillian Kutter, and Hazel Peschel.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are suggested to the Alzheimer's Association or her church, Grey Eagle United Methodist Church.

Arrangements were made with Patton-Schad Funeral & Cremation Services of Melrose.
