Mary Diane Hutchison was summoned to Heaven on December 9, 2021. She passed away suddenly 2 days after knee replacement surgery. Mary was born on June 27, 1944 in Marshalltown Iowa to John G and Marie Schoel Oaks. The family lived in Gladbrook, Iowa when she was young. Her father passed away when she was 8 years old causing the family to move to several other places. In 1958 they moved to Riverton, Wyoming.

In 1979 their son Michael Hutchison was born.
Mary had an Early Childhood Associates Degree. She worked over 30 years for Head Start in Riverton, a program for 4 year olds. She loved working with these young children and would have loved to bring them home with her. She also enjoyed her co-workers. When they would get together for the end of the year party sometimes things got very fun.
Mary liked the outdoors and liked to camp but always said that her ideal camping trip would include some porcelain. Her most favorite times would include being with family and friends, cooking a big meal for them and then playing games or cards. Going out for dinner was also near the top of her list. She loved to entertain and was a very good cook. Some of the larger gatherings would have a 25 pound turkey on the guest list. She also enjoyed jig saw puzzles with Deb, and Face Book, maybe a little too much.
Mary most valued her children and grandchildren. Her Sons John Guthrie, Tim Guthrie, and Michael Hutchison. Grand Children Declan Hutchison, Moya Hutchison, Chris Guthrie and Segourney Wehling and one Great Grand Daughter Jaslene Wehling.
Mary believed in 5 F’s: Faith, Family, Friends, Food and Fun. She was a proud member of the First Baptist Church of Riverton.
