Laura A. Kreutz (nee Jacobus) age 94, formerly of Wayne, died peacefully on Thursday January 7 2010 at the Epoch Senior Health Care Center, Norton MA. after a short illness. She was born in the Mt. View section of Wayne and received her formal education at Paterson Central HS in Paterson. She lived in Wayne all of her life prior to moving with her husband to Norton, MA in 2008. She was predeceased by her husband Charles Kreutz.
Mrs. Kreutz took great pride in being a homemaker. She was also an Accounts Payable clerk for Chemway Corporation in Wayne for sixteen years before her retirement in 1979.
She was a member of Calvary Gospel Church in Wayne. Prior to her move to Massachusetts she was occasional pianist/organist at the church as well as being actively involved in the church Senior Group along with her husband.
Her hobbies included bowling with the Senior League in Wayne and traveling with her husband Charles to all parts of the United States, Canada and England. An accomplished pianist, Laura took great pleasure in playing the piano for other residents for both entertaining and sing-alongs for residents at Epoch where she was fondly known as 'The Piano Lady'. She also enjoyed playing Wii Bowling and other group activities and was an avid Yankees baseball fan.
Her most cherished role was that of mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by one daughter Shirley Kammerer and her husband Gerald of Norton, MA, one son Charles A. Kreutz and his wife Gail of Culver Lake; one brother Howard Jacobus and his wife Kathy of Henderson, North Carolina; five Grandchildren Jodi Vandervoort, Robert Kreutz, Scott, Todd and Wade Kammerer; twelve Great Grandchildren Cassidy, Mikayla and Madison VanDervoort, Slade and Ty Kammerer, Chase and Abby Kreutz, Mark Peltier, Lexi and Max Kammerer, Nathaniel and Lucy Kammerer.
