Dorothy came into this world July 26, 1930, in Stilwell, Oklahoma to Joseph

“Chickilla” Fishinghawk and Ada Lee Fishinghawk. She grew up among many

relatives and friends in Stillwell. She moved to Enid, Oklahoma and attended

Longfellow Junior High School. She also attended Enid High School where she

ultimately met Ivan Kutz, he wooed her with his “scooter” and by their senior year

in high school they fell in love and decided to get married. They were married at

the Calvary Baptist Church in Enid, on August 20, 1950. This was a union that

lasted 55 years. In the first years of the marriage, husband Ivan was sent to Korea

and was honorably discharged and returned home to the friendly confines of Enid,

to his wife Dorothy, and son Jim.

In the years that followed, Dorothy attended Enid Business College where she

honed her skills in typing and shorthand and various other secretarial skills. She

used these skills by working for several lawyers and businessmen. She worked

for Champlin along with the duties of a housewife. Three more children followed

in the next few years to total four children. After this, Ivan requested that Dorothy

stay home and raise the children.

Along with being a full time mother, Dorothy was active in Epsilon Sigma Alpha

sorority where she performed many community service activities. She was also

active in the First Baptist Church and later she went to Emmanuel Baptist Church,

where she and husband Ivan, taught Sunday school. When the children were

grown, Dorothy found time to work at “Fairyland” Children’s Clothing store, where

she purchased many clothes for her own grandchildren. This job gave her the

chance to spoil the grandkids with top of the line clothes.

Dorothy’s countenance was most noted by her sweet personality, a personality

that never complained or gossiped about troubling situations. She never had a

bad word to speak about anybody; rather, she would focus on positive things

concerning her family and friends. Dorothy will be remembered for her kindness

and attention to all of her family members, and it should be noted that she had a

renewed since of love and adoration for her new great grand children that have

recently followed into this world.

Dorothy is survived by her children, daughter Kae White and husband Mike

White, of Edmond, Oklahoma. Daughter Patti Elliott and husband John Elliott of

Edmond, Oklahoma. Son, Tim Kutz of Enid, Oklahoma. She also has 8

grandchildren – Ted, Kathy, and Darren White. Issac and Cari Elliott, and Yvette

MacDonald. Also Harrison Kutz, and Olivia Kutz Clemmons. She has 4 great

grandsons and 1 great granddaughter. Dorothy has one brother, Joe

Fishinghawk of Tahlequah, Oklahoma and Brother and Sister in Law, Jerry and

Barbara Erwin of Enid, Oklahoma. Her extended family includes Bruce and Mary

Schulz and children, Hank and Aisley, of Enid, Oklahoma.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ivan and son Jim.
