Mary “Joann” Zentz, 73, of Butler, passed away at home on Sunday, December 3, 2023 with her husband by her side. She was born in Kittanning, on October 4, 1950, to the late Stephen and Anna Mae (Walker) Kutch.
Joann graduated from Kittanning High School in 1969. She was a homemaker who enjoyed collecting beautiful antiques and knickknacks to fill her home. Joann had a mischievous sense of humor, and an infectious laugh that could fill the room. Her family was her greatest joy, and she will be forever missed.
Joann is survived by her devoted husband of 52 years, Richard Zentz, Sr.; sister Carolyn (H. Wayne) Shafer; brothers Steve (Deb) Kutch, Daniel Kutch, and Garry (Sherri) Kutch; sons Scott (Judy) Kutch and Richard (Yvonne) Zentz, Jr.; granddaughter Yasmine Zentz; grandson Xavier Zentz; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Joann was preceded in death by infant brothers Jeffrey Scott Kutch and Mark Alan Kutch, who died at birth. Family and friends will be received on Thursday, December 7, 2023 from 5-7 PM in the SPENCER D. GEIBEL FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 140 NEW CASTLE RD. BUTLER, PA 16001, WWW.SPENCERDGEIBEL.COM.
