Obituary of Shirley Hutchinson

           It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt and cousin, Shirley Hutchinson.  She departed this earth on July 5, 2023 leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.  Though our hearts are heavy, we take solace in celebrating a life that touched so many with kindness, compassion and unconditional love.

            Born on May 10, 1928, Shirley brought warmth and joy to the lives she touched from the very beginning.  She was a beacon of love, guiding her family through life’s triumphs and challenges with a gentle spirit and unwavering sense of grace.  She was a true pillar of strength and an eternal source of wisdom.

            Shirley was predeceased by her husband, Barton Hutchinson (“Hutch”); sisters, Katherine, Jackie, and Joanie; and son, Richard Siesto.  Shirley was survived by her daughter, Mary Lou Haight; son, Victor Siesto (Robin); and daughter, Lori Hutchinson (Jerry).

            Shirley was also survived by her loving grandchildren, Heather Pike (Brian), Amy Parker (Larry), Christine Barney (David), Dawn Thompson (Scott), Teresa Brockman (Colin), and Jacquelyn Chatterton (Christopher).  Shirley was also survived by 14 great grandchildren, 5 great-great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

            Beyond her role as a devoted family woman, Shirley spent many years working at Kodak and in later years at Rochester Mental Health Center.  Shirley will forever be treasured by all who knew and loved her.  While we mourn our loss, we will honor her legacy of love that she leaves behind.  Her unwavering love, wisdom and kindness will continue to guide us, forever reminding us of the extraordinary woman she was. 

            The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Aaron Manor Rehabilitation and Nursing Center for their loving care of Shirley.  A celebration of Shirley’s life will be held on Monday, July 10, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. at Willard H. Scott Funeral Home, 12 South Avenue, Webster, New York.  In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Shirley’s honor to the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
