Aunt Mary was the glue of the Hutchins family.  She is with her eternal Father and rejoicing with her parents and all of her siblings.  While the miles between us was far, when we were able to chat, she was always ready to share her stories and hear about my family.  She could be loud and funny!  Through her example, she taught me to be strong and even stubborn.  I will always remember the love and support she shared with me through many cards and chats while going through cancer treatment.  I will cherish those cards forever.  I love you Aunt Mary and you will be greatly missed. 
Uncle Eddie, I am glad she married you!  You were the love of her life and you lovingly cared for her until she took her last breath. Take comfort in knowing God has her and he has you during this difficult time.  "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" Romans 15 :13. Take care of yourself and know you will be in our prayers.
Love you. Lori and family

Mary with the love of her life, Eddie and her one and only, Kevin.

All together!

My Aunt Mary is greatly missed. Words can’t express my gratitude for the way she went above and beyond to form a connection and lasting memories with my girls. When my oldest was born, she started sending her yellow envelopes every month with a special little gift. When my youngest came, she added a monthly red envelope. She never missed a month. She took great care to pick the perfect item, from clothes to books to hair bows. And each envelope included a $2 bill, which passed down a family story about her father (the girls’ great-great-grandfather). The girls would get so excited to see their envelopes! Aunt Mary told me the reason she sent them was “because every child deserves to know that they’re special to someone, besides their parents.” I hope she knew she was special to us. Aunt Mary was thoughtful and intentional in how she showed her love for our family. I’ll never forget her, and neither will my girls.

Uncle Eddie so sorry for your lost. But also happy  she home with the Lord.  I know you will miss her very much. You will have some hard days. It will come like waves. Cry cry cry. Gods will be there for you.. Let God comfort you.  She was my favorite Aunt.   She was there for me when Tosh was sick. Always made sure I came to see her. So glad I was  able to see her on my last trip to Dallas.  It will not be the same coming home with Mom and Aunt Mary gone.. Her family is having a happy time with her home.  Love Teri

Eddie, I know you are hurting right now and I hate it that you have to go through this, but I pray you will go through it with God. When our hearts break so does HIS.  HE loves and cares for you so much. Let God comfort you and heal your heart. I believe God will give you grace for this difficult season in your life. God promises to give us beauty for ashes and joy for mourning. 
Aunt Mary was truly one of a kind....She did tell it like it was.  She also did always say that God did not have her bed ready yet and when He had it ready He would bring her home. She went out of her way to give me a ring that she had for years and said she wanted me to have it before she died and not after. She also gave both my grandsons watches last Christmas for the same reason. She wanted them to have something to remind them of her. 
2nd Corinthians 5:8 We have confident and hopeful courage and are pleased rather to be away from home out of the body and be at home with the Lord. Basically: To be abscent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I hope this gives you some comfort knowing that God has her with HIM. 
I love you and you take care of yourself!






Eddie, my heart breaks for you and Kevin. Please know that I have had you in my prayers and will continue to do so.  May you find peace in knowing she is now in the presence of our Lord and reunited with her family.  Trust in God to help you in the difficult days ahead.....For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Aunt Mary always said that God was not ready for her until He was finished changing the sheets on her bed in heaven.  God has called her home and her bed is prepared!
My heartfelt sympathy and love to you both.

My most recent memory of my aunt Mary was her and my Uncle Eddie attending my wedding which first off I thought myself would never happen my thought was like what woman would ever marry me but guess what I found one crazy enough to tie the knot .. Anyway I remember talking with my aunt about my now wife and how excited and happy she was for me that I found the one to spend the rest of my life with and how she would for sure be at the wedding and guess what she came and I was very grateful for her being there it meant alot to me and the wife on another note  my aunt was a amazing woman and there was never any short cuts with her she always told it like it was even if u didn't want to hear it and that's exactly how iam must of got that from her   (haaaaa )..  YOU WILL MISSED TELL NANNIE WE SAID HI .....
