Beverly A. Luttgens, 79, of Linden, passed away on Saturday, April 4, 2026, after a long illness. Born in Elizabeth, Bev was a lifelong resident of Linden.
Beverly retired in 2017, after working over 25 years as a paraprofessional for the Linden Board of Education. Prior to that, Bev started her career as a bookkeeper for Evan Picone, and later, Hayward Manufacturing.

Bev was a deeply religious woman, and a congregant of St. Elizabeth Church in Linden. Her love of family and friends knew no bounds, and she gave selflessly to others her entire life.
Bev’s passions included baking (especially her famous Christmas cookies), cooking, traveling, trying new restaurants, and her favorite- trips to Atlantic City to “play the slots.”
Bev’s favorite times were spent with her family. Holidays, birthdays, beach time in LBI, mountain time in Wantage, and trips to the Outer Banks, Hawaii, and Europe were among her most cherished moments.

Beverly was predeceased by her son, Frederick J. Luttgens III, her parents, Alexander and Rose Beck, and siblings, Alexandra Greenwald, Dolores Green, and Alan Beck.
Beverly is survived by her husband of 58 years, Frederick J. Luttgens, two daughters, Pamela and her husband James Smith of Marlboro, Jill and her husband James Maroney of Howell, son Matthew and his wife Angie of Freehold, four grandchildren, Marissa and her husband Ryan Maddern, Ian and Rachel Maroney, Anastasia Luttgens, and great grandchildren, Cameron and Amelia Maddern. Bev is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

A funeral mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am, Saturday April 11, 2026, at St. Elizabeth of Hungary RC Church, 220 E Blancke St, Linden NJ 07036.
