Brenda Lutz

Brenda A. Lutz, 80, of Reinholds, passed away Friday, January 7, 2022, at WellSpan Ephrata Community Hospital. Born in Denver, Pa, she was a daughter of the late Harry S. and Mary Jane (Ludwig) McQuate and the devoted wife of Ronald Lutz who passed in 1971, and John D. 'Donnie' Lutz who passed in 2004. For over 15-years, Brenda worked at the Anderson's Pharmacy in Denver where she loved interacting with customers.

Brenda was a huge Rod Stewart fan and just as his song describes, Brenda's spirit, wit, and energy will be remembered as Forever Young. Brenda is survived by her five children, Scott A.
