Lucinda (Cindy) Elizabeth Lutman

Lucinda Elizabeth Lutman (Cindy) September 28, 1950 – February 21, 2026 Lucinda Elizabeth Lutman passed away peacefully at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington Virginia on February 21, 2026, after a 9-year battle with lung cancer. Her Doctor’s told her she was a walking miracle after surviving Stage 4 Lung Cancer for over 9 years. She is survived by her sister Vicky Lutman of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Her brother Jeff Lutman and Sister In-law Karen Lutman of Bluemont, Virginia as well as 3 nephews; Zachary Lutman of Asheville, North Carolina, Nathan Lutman of Bluemont, Virginia and Jacob Lutman of Arlington Virginia. Cindy was the oldest daughter of Harry E. Lutman of Berkley Springs, West Virginia and Margurite S. Lutman, of Washington DC. Cindy was born in Washington DC at Columbia Hospital for Women on September 28, 1950. She was raised in Arlington, Virginia and later moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with the family where she attended Elementary School and Middle School. The Lutman family then moved to Woodbridge Virginia in 1964 where she attended Fred Lynn Middle School and Woodbridge Senior High School, where she Graduated from in 1968. She went on to attend Northern Virginia Community College before joining C&P Telephone Company which later became Bell Atlantic for a long career. As the Technology wave arrived, she joined a software company called Softec as an editor, before becoming a long-term Substitute Teacher at Woodbridge High School. Always focused on her family, she retired in 1990 to take care of her Father, who we all called “Brother” who also died from Lung Cancer. She then made it her mission to take care of her Mother, Rite who eventually died from COPD in 2008. Aunt Nin had 3 nephews she adored and doted over every chance she got. She was always hosting sleepovers and field trips to Occoquan, Virginia with her boys to feed the ducks and buy ice cream. As her nephew’s got older, she became a professional groupie for their band, Buddagraph Spaceship, and followed them to every Gig within driving distance. Cindy always put family first, especially her sister Vic who was only 1 year younger than her. They were attached at the hip right to the very end of her beautiful life with Vic spending every day and night with her in the hospital while she battled cancer. She never spent a moment alone during her last few months thanks to her baby sister who was with her when she died. Her last words to Vic were “It’s always me and you, you and me, right”. She had a deep affection for family and was fiercely protective. She loved going to the Family Cabin in Hampshire County West Virginia and visiting our Father’s hometown of Berkley Springs, West Virginia. Especially for the Annual Apple Butter Festival. She reflected her West Virginia roots in every regard, as she was very direct and opinionated with everyone she met, often throwing in a few choice words to make her point as sharply as possible. She also became the unofficial Family historian researching Family History and our West Virginia Roots with our Father, all the way back to the Revolutionary War. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She also enjoyed researching our Mothers heritage from the Civil War through present day, collecting old letters and pictures for the younger generation. Unfortunately, much of the family history that was passed down through conversation has died along with her. As a young lady she loved to go to Virginia Beach as often as possible, whether for the day or the weekend. As she got older, she would travel to Virginia Beach with her Mother, Brother, Sister In-law and Nephews to swim, shop, walk the Boardwalk and find the best Crab Cakes in town. She loved going to Watermans, Rudde’s and the Light House Restaurant for She Crab Soup and crab cake sandwiches. In her later years Cindy enjoyed going to her sister Vic’s Beach House on the Chesapeake Bay near Point Look Out Maryland, for long weekends, walking the beach, collecting beach glass and making jewelry and wind chimes from it. Cindy enjoyed antiques, arts, crafts, painting, making Christmas Ornaments, and spending time with family. She was always up for a Fall Festival or an Arts and Craft Show. Cindy spent most of her life in Woodbridge, Virginia where she grew up. She mothered all of us…her brother, sister, nephews, and her sister In-law. She was deeply loved by her family and friends alike, and she will be missed by everyone who knew her. She died in her sleep, resting peacefully, unafraid and without fear. She believed Jesus Christ was our Lord and Savior and was a member of Cokesbury Methodist Church, in Woodbridge, Virginia. She resides in heaven now and has joined all of our family and friends that we have lost before… and she will never lose again.
