  • Full Obituary

    Delores Mae “Skip” Lutz, 91, of Greenville, IL, passed away on Thursday, March 10, 2022, at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, IL.

    She was born on June 20, 1930, to Clyde and Elva (nee Denny) McCasland in Greenville, IL.

    Skip grew up in the Pocahontas area and graduated from Pocahontas High School. In the 70’s, she moved to Greenville with her husband, Jack Lutz, where they owned several restaurants between Pocahontas, Greenville, and Hillsboro. She enjoyed baking, cooking, and sitting on her porch when the weather was nice. Skip had a love for flowers, especially orchids, having a collection of them in her bay window. For 25 years, Skip and Jack travelled to flea markets in Nashville, TN to sell antiques. She was a strong, kind, and selfless woman. Everyone who knew her, loved her, and she would do anything for those she cared for. Her family was her world, and she will be greatly missed.

    She was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Elva McCasland; husband, Jack Lutz; daughter, Cindy Lutz; sister, Betty Hagler; and nephew, David Hagler.

    Skip is survived by her son, Randy Lutz; granddaughter, Ashley Lutz; brother, John (Lois) McCasland; brother-in-law, Lavern Hagler; and niece, Deb (Frank) Helige.

    Memorials may be made to the donor’s choice.

    Lutz and McCasland family, so sorry to hear of Skip’s passing. We are in florida so cannot join the family in honoring a good, hard working gal. As Tom said “she and her mom could really cook”. Sure would like to have some of their chicken and dumplings.
    All good memories at Ma and Pa’s house and eating at Ranks.
