Marie Lynn Kutz, 50, of Springboro, passed away unexpectedly at her home on December 17, 2024. Born in Meadville, PA, on June 29, 1974, Marie was a loving wife, devoted mother, and friend to many.
She was married to Andy C. Kutz on July 25, 2014, and together they created a warm and welcoming home filled with laughter and love. Marie graduated from Conneaut Valley High School in 1993 and went on to dedicate 20 years of her working life to Hanes Erie, Inc. She was a familiar face there, known for her kindness and hard work.
A dedicated member of the Springboro Nazarene Church, Marie always put others before herself. She found joy in purse bingo and cherished every moment spent with her dogs and family. Her life was full of love, and she made sure those around her felt it every day.

She also leaves behind her son Kreo (Diana) Ehret of West Palm Beach, Florida, and two grandchildren, Natalie L. Gonzales and Fearann Adam Leahy. Marie’s brother, Gary E. Nichols Jr. of Erie, along with her nieces Teresa (Bradley) Peters, Kaitlyn (Josh) Sadler, and Macaila Nichols, will also miss her dearly.

I was in Cosmetology with Marie in highschool. She always had a big smile and always made me laugh. She was a great friend. May the great memories she created bring a smile to your hearts.
I don’t even know how to fully describe how much Marie meant to me and my daughter. She knew me as a baby and we met again at Hanes when I was older. She was always there for me and my daughter. I will cherish the fun times at Purse Bingo. Life is a lot more darker with one of my best friends gone. I will love and miss you always.
I don’t even know what to say. The world has just lost a truly good one that’s for sure. She had such a big wonderful heart through and through.She would go out of her way to help anyone and everyone, even those she barely knew. To the family … so very sorry for your loss, the world was a much better place with Marie in it.
She was always there when I needed her. She was such a wonderful person and was a great sister in law, even after the divorce she would keep in touch. Unfortunately we did lose touch for a lot of years but I cherish the times we did spend together!
Andy so sorry to hear about Marie. Prayers for you and your family.
Mama Marie was so loved and will always be loved! I will miss her forever and I will never let her be forgotten! I’m so sorry Andy I know she wasn’t just your wife she was your best friend.
I’ve known you since junior high school. The years have passed and we’ve grown closer, since we started working together, remember all the good times, and all the laughter. All the tears that we have shared you were and are a very good friend. Sending many hugs and prayers to Andy, Kirsten., and Kreo.. I will miss you rest in peace.
My friend,
Love you forever. Betty Jo
Marie my dear friend you will be greatly missed by so many. Thank you for being the woman you were to all of us.. loving.. caring and so giving of yourself. Thank you for the memories I have shared with you. RIP in my friend.
You were a wonderful woman and mother
Every person Marie met has made a huge impact to them. She’s outgoing, caring and overall loving. Marie always made sure I was never alone – that she was always a message or phone call away. Requesting to donate to the Anna Shelter is fitting when it comes to Marie – her passion for animals has always shines through.
I love you and miss you dearly.
I’m thinking about you, Andy with this difficult time. Just know I’m always here.
Love Marie I’m going to miss you dearly!!!
