Carlene Hutcheson, 74, of Topeka, KS, went to be with her Lord on January 10, 2014, after a yearlong struggle with various health issues.
She was born on January 25, 1940, in Topeka, KS, to Rev. Thomas and Marjorie Hutcheson of Denison, KS. In 1949, her family moved to the island of Cyprus, where her parents were missionary teachers.

She is survived by her brother Tom Hutcheson and wife Sue; niece Christi Hutcheson; niece Karen Montemayor and husband Jim; nephew Jim Hutcheson; grandniece Rachel Montemayor; and grandnephews Luke and Nate Montemayor. Her godly spirit, thoughtfulness, and generosity will be missed by her many relatives and friends.
