Biography
RUTLAND - Sylvia M. (Luukko) Mann Rotti, 80, of Rutland, died peacefully at home under the loving care of her family on Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Born in Holden, Sylvia was the daughter of Finnish immigrants, Matti W. and Martha (Kujanpaa) Luukko and lived her entire life in Rutland.
Sylvia graduated from the former Rutland High School and worked as a school bus driver for Mac-Mae Bus Co. in Hubbardston, Devereux School in Rutland and as a nurses aide at the former Rutland Heights Hospital.
She was a lifetime member of the First Congregational Church of Rutland. She was proud of her Finnish heritage and hometown of Rutland.
