Jutten is considered one of the principal figures in the growth and development of women's athletics at Central Missouri State. She served on the University's faculty for 22 years and for 20 of those years was chair of the women's physical education department. It was during her tenure that the women's basketball, softball and field hockey programs were established and helped pave the way for Central Missouri to develop one of the top women's athletics programs in the country. A native of St. Joseph, Jutten also served on Central Missouri State's Board of Regents and has been involved in numerous volunteer programs, particularly with the Red Cross. She retired from the University in 1975 and still lives in Warrensburg.
