Virginia Hutton
94, LENEXA
Virginia Lee Hutton died on Sept. 17, 2012 at her home in Lenexa.
Funeral service will be held at 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21, at Countryside Christian Church, 6101 Nall, Mission, Kan The family will greet visitors at the church beginning at 3 p.m. Graveside service will be held at 2 p.m on Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Beaumont Cemetery in Beaumont,
Much of her life was devoted to music.
As a | young girl j she accompanied her father, a music teacher, to small communities and schools in the Flint Hills as he gave lessons. Frequently they played duets with him on the violin and her on the piano. On one such trip she, age 13, met William “Bill” Wayne Hutton, her future husband.
Years later she gave lessons to her own students. She seemingly made quite a fortune from these lessons because when ever her husband complained of some purchase, she declared it was from her music lesson money. That became a standing family joke. She also shared her talent by playing for her church, family and eventually giving lessons to all her grandchildren and one great grandson.
On Dec 6, 1939, after graduating from Butler County Community College in El Dorado, Virginia eloped with Bill Hutton. They made their home in Beaumont, Kan., in a house with no power or water. They owned and operated a grocery store.
Eventually they moved to the Shawnee Mission area where they raised their two daughters, along with many dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and horses. During their 39 years of marriage, Virginia became expert at making chili, "Hutton-bone-&-body-builder," and dressing and preparing wild game dinners.
Virginia enjoyed many different and interesting activities. Besides her interest in music, she was an avid swimmer and horsewoman, loved reading, belonging to book clubs late 80’s. Though not one to push her beliefs on others she nevertheless embodied the essence of the true Christian by her life style of quiet kindness and generosity. Throughout her life Virginia had a curious mind, always open to new ideas and viewpoints. Compassion was always her guide.
She leaves two daughters, Nancy Jeanne Ralston and husband Rich, of Liberty, Mo., and Pennie Hutton von Achen and husband Kurt of Eudora, Kan.; four grandchildren, Bill Ralston, and wife Kathy, Tom Ralston and wife Ekaterina, Megan Russell and husband Jim, and Kate von Achen;six great-grandchildren; her friend of 80 years, Elouise Strait of Bolivar, Mo.; and her devoted care givers Sandy Evans and Joyce Caylor.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and her sister, Carol Jean Tibbetts.
The family suggests contributions in lieu of flowers be made to The Salvation Army or Historic Beaumont Christian Church Restoration Fund in care of Marce Brewer, Box 20, Beaumont, KS 67012
