Haddy Lutz, RN
(Real name is Hadley)
Hometown: St. Cloud, MN
Family: One older brother, some cool parents and boyfriend Sean
Hobbies: I love to travel, hike, kayak, downhill ski, bike, camp and am an adrenaline junkie
Why I work at Quiet Oaks: I work at QO because I have a special connection with hospice care. Two of my grandparents were on hospice and the nurses that helped them and my family along their journey made a huge impact on us. For that reason I wanted to go into hospice so that I could also make a difference in other people’s lives, especially in their time of need.

I was born the oldest of five kids raised on a small 200 acre farm near Bird Island.
I have celebrated my 53rd year of marriage to my wife Jackie and we have two married daughters with six grand children.
I enjoy the outdoors, especially fishing, camping, softball and golfing.
I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the lawn mowing team at Quiet Oaks and doing my part to maintain this beautiful property and asset to our community. All of the staff at Quiet Oaks are so dedicated and professional in caring for the residents and their families.
