I am so sorry to hear about Jan's passing. We worked together for many years st Forest Park. I was also fortunate enough to travel with Jan and others to an educational conference in Williamsburg. It was a joy to have known her and to have worked with her. She was a kind and caring person. My prayers are with you and your family at this time of loss.

I am very saddened to hear of Jan's passing. I worked with her for 4 years at Forest Park. Jan was humble, gracious, and helpful. Being a new teacher, Jan gave my guidance and advice that I carry with me to this day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Jan will be missed. What a wonderful lady. She was so many things to so many people, and we were so fortunate to have been able to be a part of her life, if even for a short time. Her beauty will live on in the wonderful memories that we all have of her. I am so sorry for the loss, it was too early
Much love, the Jacksons

Jan was always so gracious, a quiet, southern lady. As a teacher she touched many children with her caring nature and they will pass that kindness to others. They loved her as a teacher. I enjoyed working with her at Forest Park and am so sad to hear of her passing. Bless your family and may you find peace in all the good memories.

Dear Chuck and family,
Grant and I are so very sorry to learn of the death of your wife, and mother. Jan was one of the finest women I've known, with a spirit that met challenges of all sorts, with courage, conviction and strength. She was open to suggestion and always on the lookout for a better way to do something. She was funny, smart and compassionate and she had such passion for her family, her friends and her work.

We will miss her. Know that her essence is never far from you, or from us. We are better people for having known her and the world was a better place because she was in it.

Lou Bailes (and Grant Smith)

We are so sorry for your loss! My son was fortunate enought to have had Mrs. Hutsell not once, but twice in his elementary years. She took care of him, and all the children in her class, as if they were her own. Mrs. Hutsell was a favorite. May you and your family be flooded with fond memories of sweet Mrs. Hutsell.
