Delores Hutton

SPRINGFIELD - Mrs. Delores Hutton, 73, of Springfield died at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 3, 2008, at Memorial Medical Center.

She was born Nov. 8, 1934, in Springfield, the daughter of Harrison and Winifred (Baker) Givens. Delores married Richard Hutton in Springfield in 1953.

Mrs. Hutton was a member of Grace Lutheran Church. She worked as a data entry clerk at Horace Mann and formerly worked at Fiatallis, Franklin Life and the state of Illinois. Though Delores worked for several different employers during her lifetime, her true life's work and pleasure was to serve and care for others. Anything outside that was just frills. Her special joy was her husband, daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchild, all of whom she lovingly doted over.

Surviving are her husband, Richard of Springfield; two daughters, Brenda and husband Richard Vogen of Mahomet and Regina and husband James Santarelli of Springfield; three sisters, Melva Reed of Springfield, Katherine Stephens of Fieldon and Emily Scroggins of Cordele, Ga.; seven grandchildren, Kyle Lyons and wife Kathy, Peter, Erin and Anika Vogen and Nicholas, Rachel and Gina Santarelli; and a great- grandson; Ethan Lyons; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Rhonda Lynn Hutton; and two brothers, Earnest and Stanley Givens.

Funeral services will be held at noon Monday, April 7, 2008, in Grace Lutheran Church, with the Rev. Thomas B. Christell Jr. and Pastor Juli Guy officiating. Visitation will be held from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the church. Memorials may be made to Grace Lutheran Church 714 E. Capitol Ave., Springfield, IL 62701. Private burial will be Tuesday.
