Barbara Jane Cutter

Barbara “Babs” Jane Jorgenson Cutter, age 96, of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, passed away on July 22, 2025, as a resident of Crosslands, an assisted living center in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 19, 1929, she was the daughter of Rose (née Obendorfer) and George W Jorgenson. She was predeceased by her husband Hugo Cutter, Jr, with whom she shared 18 years of marriage.

Babs grew up in southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After graduating from John Bartram High School in 1947, she received a diploma as an X-ray technician from Philadelphia General Hospital in 1949. She worked in the X-ray department at PGH for many years, eventually attaining a management position. After PGH, she worked for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health for 7 years. Babs was known for her tenacious work ethic and her unwavering determination to do the best for her patients and fellow employees.

Babs will be remembered for her sense of humor, generosity, love of animals, opera, art, birding, and travel. Most importantly, she will be remembered for her ability to make friends easily. She was very much loved by many.

In her later years she found solace while sitting under her favorite Horse Chestnut tree and listening to the sounds of nature. Her cat, Snow, kept her company for 18 + years. Snow was always willing to wake Babs each morning to indicate it was time for breakfast. Babs also loved visits from passing four-legged friends while relaxing on her patio. She especially enjoyed the therapy dog visits after she entered the health center.

Babs is survived by her stepdaughter Amy Sue Cutter, step-grandsons Jacob and Madison (Christine), and her step-great granddaughter, the light of her life, Stella. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews as well as great-nieces and great-nephews.

If you find yourself missing Babs’ company, there is no doubt you can hear her say, “Get over it!!”

She wanted us all to find the way to live to our full potential… so, get with it.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Crosslands in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, for the loving care she received during her stay in skilled care following a stroke last fall.
