DELMAR-Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Cutler ("Davey"), 93, passed into the loving presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, February 18, 2015.

Born in Denver, CO, Mary graduated from Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA, where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Delta Delta Delta sorority. After graduation, she married her college sweetheart, the late Royal A. Cutler, Jr., moved to Troy, and then to West Sand Lake, where they raised their children. Mary was a dedicated mother and homemaker, taught piano for twenty years, served as PTA president, and was active in her church. A concern for civil rights in the late '60s and early '70s led her to organize interracial dialogues through the Troy YMCA board and to serve as coordinator of the local chapter of Panel of American Women. She and her husband later moved to Delmar.

At age 50, Mary had a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ, eventually shared by her entire family. In the next few years, she participated in Lay Witness Missions alongside her husband, led numerous Bible studies and prayer groups, and was involved in Women's Aglow Fellowship as president of the Albany Chapter, an Area Board member, and a speaker sharing her experiences with God. She was actively involved in Emmanuel Christian Church and, most recently, Delmar Full Gospel Church.

In her 80s, Mary wrote and published two books, The First Gleam of Dawn and Till the Full Light of Day that related the miraculous story of her spiritual journey. Mary will be remembered for her intense love for God and for her family. Dedicated to helping people, she touched many lives and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Mary is survived by her children Laurie (Tom) Knecht, Royal (Mary) Cutler, III, Karen (Rick) Peterson; beloved grandchildren (5) and great grandchildren (8); she is predeceased by her husband, Dr. Royal A. Cutler, Jr.

A Celebration Service will be held on Saturday, February 28, at 10:00 a.m. at Delmar Full Gospel Church, 282 Elsmere Ave., Delmar. Friends are invited to call on the family at the church starting at 8:30 a.m. A private interment for family will take place at Bethlehem Cemetery in Delmar, N.Y.
