| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 <<< >>> July 31, 1937 – Oct. 18, 2017 <<< Vera Hutchings, 80, went to be with the Lord Jesus Oct. 18. She lived courageously through an extended illness. She was born in Thayer, Missouri. Her family moved to Costa Mesa, California in 1955 following her graduation from high school. Vera enrolled in Southern California Bible College (now Vanguard University) in the fall of 1956. She met her future husband and soulmate Harvey there in October 1957. They married in May of 1958. The couple had three children: Jonathan, Kendall and Elisabeth. The family lived in various communities in Southern California over the next 20 years. In 1978, the family moved to Bainbridge, Washington. Vera was hired as a graphic designer by Kitsap Regional Library in Bremerton, Washington. She retired with her husband in 1995 and they bought a home in Lake Havasu City. They began snowbirding for the next 15 years. During this time, their two grandchildren, Benjamin and Amy, lived with them for various periods of time. Vera would shuttle the grandchildren to and from Mohave Community College. Vera decided to enroll in an MCC silversmithing class while the grandchildren were attending their classes. This opened up a whole new vista of talent for her. She thoroughly enjoyed designing and making silver jewelry, usually incorporating turquoise. Vera is survived by her son Jonathan, daughter Elisabeth and husband Harvey. Her son Kendall preceded her in death in 2003. A celebration of Vera’s life is 10:30 a.m Nov. 21 at the Calvary Church Campus, 1605 S. McCulloch Blvd. |
