"The Davis Enterprise," Friday, June 7, 2002
Cassandra Zoe Nutter

Cassandra Zoe Nutter, a Davis resident and recent graduate of the Davis School
for Independent Study, died Wednesday, May 29, 2002, near Quito, Ecuador. She
was 17 years old.

Born Sept. 11, 1984, Zoe is the daughter of longtime UC Davis music professor
David Nutter and his wife, Helen. She attended Davis High School, where she was
active in the drama department, but decided to accelerate her education and
switched to the Davis School for Independent Study before graduating earlier
this year.

A member of the South America Explorers Club, Nutter had gone to Ecuador in
February to work as a volunteer on an ecological reserve. According to family
friends, she had gone on a camping trip with a friend and died in a hiking
accident at Lake Quilotoa.

Friends of the Nutter family released the following statement about Nutter:

"Zoe had a wonderful combination of playful humor, sharp and accurate
observations, and intense concern about right and wrong. She was compassionate
and had an unwaveringly clear sense of herself in this world, which allowed her
to be strong not only in her own interactions, but also in those on behalf of
others, especially those that needed support.

"Zoe was a young woman who lived with a wisdom beyond her years. She brought joy
to all who were privileged to have spent time with her. She had greatly enjoyed
her months in Ecuador."

In addition to her parents, Zoe is survived by her older siblings Tamsin,
Timothy and Blaise; and her grandmothers, Marian Nutter of Davis and Katherine
Spencer of London.

Plans for a memorial service are pending David and Helen Nutter's return from
Europe later this month. David Nutter is on work-related assignments in Italy
and Great Britain, according to family friends.
