Uncle Ray, Hobo, and Uncle Butch…. my heart aches for you three the most. I am so happy for Aunt Barbara because I know who she’s with… I vision Ken standing back behind Christ when He took her hand and welcomed her to His kingdom… the embrace they had warms my heart! I love you so much and I wish I could take away the pain of your loss. Aunt Barbara was a beautiful wife, wonderful mother and one of the best aunts a niece could ask for. She will be missed but never forgotten!
We are very sorry to here of your loss. We were just remembering the times Barbara spent teaching in Anderson.

I am a 1970 graduate of Anderson High School.
Mrs. Hutchinson was a very caring person.
She exemplified the epitome of excellence in caring for students; she demonstrated exceptional professional skills in working with all people, students, peers, administrators and all others that she interfaced with on a daily basis.
I cannot say enough about this wonderful person;she made a difference in our society.
I take this opportunity to share with you my appreciation for the many contributions that Mrs. Hutchinson made to all of us that attended Anderson High School. She will be sorely missed.
Dr. Willie Minor

As one goes through life you meet people along its path that contributes greatly to your life’s lesson and has a lasting and positive impact on you. Mrs. Hutchinson never raised her voice to any student but in her soft voice and substantive manner guided all her students to perform above their levels. I learned more form her and her personality than just the subject she was teaching. She has never been forgotten! Kathy and my thought and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Charles & Kathy Becker
