Memorial services are at the Stacy-Lewis Funeral Home, Columbus Junction. The Rev. Cathy Whitlatch will officiate.
A memorial has been established in her name for a stuffed animal donation to the University of Iowa Pediatric Center, Iowa City.
Mrs. Utter was born Nov. 28, 1950, in Washington D.C., the daughter of Roy Glynn and Iris Maxine Bethel Allman. She married Thomas Utter July 22, 1972, in Arlington, Va. He preceded her in death in 1998.

In 2002, she had the opportunity to carry the Olympic Torch. She fought cancer determinedly to the end, it was stated many times at the University that she had received the most treatment of anyone they knew.
