Irene Elizabeth Klutz

Irene Elizabeth Klutz, 91, died Wednesday, May 13, 2020, of complications due to Alzheimer’s disease at the Bradley Creek Health Center, Wilmington.

She was born and raised in North Eastern Oklahoma and moved to the Washington, D.C., area, where she met and married Herman in 1956. She and Herman retired to Brunswick County in 1979. She was immensely proud of her “wonderful family” and was quick to tell any new acquaintance so. She will be greatly missed by that family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Herman, who died in 2017.

She is survived by three sons, Carl, Paul and Thomas; nine grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
