Aileen Hutchinson, 95, well-loved mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister, and aunt, passed away on Sept. 5, 2023, in Cheney. She was born Aug. 28, 1928, in Lone Star, Kan., to the late Donald and Lily (Johnson) Anderson. She was married to Jack S. Hutchinson on Oct. 17, 1948, until his death on Sept. 9, 2007. To this union were three children, Claudia S. Campbell, Mark S. Hutchinson, and Jane L. Hahn. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, daughter Claudia Campbell, son Mark Hutchinson, grandson Scott Campbell, son-in-law Jerry Hahn and siblings Delbert Anderson, Alvin Anderson, Claude Anderson, and Marilyn Jenkins. 

Aileen is survived by her daughter, Janie; grandchildren, Nathan Hahn (Anna), Shane Hahn (Kami), and Jaclyn Walker (Ken); 5-1/2 great-grandchildren, Isaac, Aiden, Dawson, Lucas and Logan, and another due in February. She also is survived by many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. 

Affectionally known as “Grandma Cheney,” Aileen loved gardening and her flowers. She could grow just about anything and was definitely the go-to person to ask questions about plants and flowers. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her church family, and her many friends. She loved socializing and playing cards, especially bridge. She always enjoyed vacationing in Cuchara, Colo.

The family would like to thank the staff of the Cheney Golden Age Home for their expert care and love given to Aileen in her last days. You are appreciated! 

Service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 11, at Trinity United Christian Church, 416 N. Washington St., Cheney. Visitation with family will be 4-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 10, at Wulf-Ast Mortuary, 911 Biermann, Garden Plain.
