She served on the Cambria County Board of elections at the Cover Hill precinct for over 30 years. She was an active member of the Cambria County Ladies Auxiliary and the Cover Hill Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary. She belonged to the ISDA Lodge 214.
She was everyone's "Aunt Mutz" and will truly be missed. If you are reading this, you probably received a card and/or cards from her at one time or another. She loved sending cards to let you know that she cared. She loved to cook and feed as many people as she could with the extras. She would always be the 1st to help anyone, expecting nothing in return. She loved traveling and going places. No matter what she was doing, it could wait so she could go with you. She loved her family, neighbors, and friends.
