Valerie Margarita Lutter, of Stirling, beloved wife of the late Mr. Matthew Lutter, passed away at home on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the age of 76 years. She will be lovingly remembered by all those who knew her.

She is survived by her daughter, Erika Ildiko Lutter, and her son, Matthew Anthony Lutter.

Born in Srbobran, Yugoslavia, to Margit Horvath (nee Csoke) and Antal Bodogi Horvath, she immigrated to Canada with her parents as a child. The family first settled in Taber, Alberta, where they worked on farms, before making their home in Lethbridge. It was in Lethbridge that she grew up and later met the love of her life, Matthew Lutter. They were married on her 19th birthday, and soon after their marriage, they moved to Stirling, Alberta, where they resided for the remainder of their lives.

She was a devoted wife and mother to her two children, Matthew Anthony Lutter and Erika Ildiko Lutter. Family was the center of her life, and she gave her time, energy, and heart to those she loved most. In 1987, she became a certified intraoral dental assistant through the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. She worked as a dental assistant in Lethbridge for over 25 years. In her spare time, she found joy in needlework, gardening, and music. She was also an avid baker and cookbook collector.

Valerie was predeceased by her beloved husband, Matthew Lutter; her parents, Margit Horvath and Antal Bodogi Horvath; and her brother, Anthony Horvath.

Her legacy of love and care for those around her will be forever remembered.
