MARION, S.C. – Beverly A. Hutchins, 82, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on June 7.
Bev spent the last two years living with her daughter, Christine, and her family, in Marion, S.C. She happily immersed herself into their daily lives, activities and chit chat, as well as her grandson’s playful meal preparations. She was able to experience the innocence, joy and laughter of her young great- granddaughter, and the pitter patter of her little feet running around throughout the house. The eldest and the youngest member of the family created a precious bond.
Prior to a debilitating stroke in 2006, Bev was very involved with St. Norbert’s Church as the organist and the choir and bell choir director for many years. Her love for music infiltrated the community as she also played at countless weddings and funerals.
Bev most enjoyed time with her family, playing bingo, watching baseball and hanging out with her best friend, Gert Neill. Bev’s playful spirit and sense of humor was cherished by those who were lucky enough to know her.
She is survived and forever missed by her children: Patrice Ellman (Brett) of Cardiff, Calif., Christine Isham (Louis) of Conway, S.C., and Earl Hutchins of North Carolina. She will be lovingly remembered by her seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her sister, Mistie Hurwitz and her best friend, Gert Neill.
A Celebration of Life will be scheduled for a later date in Hardwick and will be announced for those that would like to attend.
