Florence Hutcherson

On Wednesday, September 2, 2020, Florence Hutcherson, loving wife and mother, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at the age of 86 with her husband R.W. by her side.\r\n\r\nFlorence Virginia (nee Bethell) Hutcherson was born on October 28, 1933, in Utopia, Texas, the fourth of five children of Jinks and Lily (nee Dotson) Bethell.\r\n\r\nShe graduated from Utopia High School in 1951 and soon thereafter married the love of her life R.W. Hutcherson. They were blessed with a daughter, Carol Elaine and son, Thomas Lynn.\r\n\r\nFlorence and her loving husband R.W. traveled the world together. Whether by jet or cruise, they visited most of Europe, parts of Russia, Australia, Canada and most of the continental United States and Hawaii.\r\n\r\nShe was a beautiful woman who was elegant, well spoken and charming. She had a very keen memory and grasp of detail most would find daunting. All that and more behind her radiant smile.\r\n\r\nIn 2002, she retired with her husband R.W. in Kerrville while meticulously furnishing and decorating her Tuscan home. They celebrated 69 years of marriage in August 2020, continuing to date like newlyweds.\r\n\r\nShe leaves behind her heartbroken family: loving husband, R.W.; daughter, Carol and her husband Robert; sister, Ann West; and nieces and nephews.\r\n\r\nShe was preceded in death by her son, Thomas Lynn; her brothers, Richard and Paul; and sister, Mary.\r\n\r\nThere will be a memorial service at 10 AM, Wednesday, September 9, 2020 First Presbyterian Church of Kerrville officiated by Pastor Jack Haberer with interment to follow also at First Presbyterian Church.
