Rosemary Lutz, 80, of Madison, passed away Thursday, December 3, 2020. She was born April 22, 1940, in Ashtabula, to Anthony and Violet (Bartone) Giannascoli. Rosemary met her love, Eugene Carl Lutz, Sr., and they were married for 46 years.

Rosemary was a business owner and operator of the Beverage Station in Perry. She sold Real Estate and worked part time at the old Shell gas station in Painesville City. Her most important role was loving and supporting her family, and the love she leaves behind is endless.

With Love, Daughter Lesley and granddaughters Ashley and Sydney write, “The memories we got to share with Gram are ones we will forever cherish. From cooking and baking, taste testing new foods, and shopping until we dropped. We enjoyed every moment with her. She lit up the room with her laughter and spunky personality, but was also always there to listen and give advice no matter what the circumstance. She was not only a Mother or Grandma to us, she was truly our best friend. We will love and miss you for ever and ever.”

Samantha, Allyssa and Stephanie write, “From Granddaughters of Rosemary Lutz:
Gram, I will forever cherish all the memories we shared, the recipes and most importantly all the life’s lessons you taught me. Please continue to look down on Olivia, and give Poppy a big hug.
Until we meet again, Sam.

Grandma Rose, I love you, and I miss you. I know Poppy is probably leaning against some wall waiting for you, so tell him sorry we kept you so long but we needed you. Till we meet again, it is not goodbye it is see you later ❤️
Love Allyssa.

Thank you for all the great memories! Say hi to poppy for me. I know he is happy to have you back! I love and miss you so much.
“A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck” “A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck”
