ANNA HUTCHINGS Obituary

Born August 26, 1932 to the late Frederick and Sarah (Moran) Graham. Anna graduated from North Quincy High School and was called "The Giant" because of her larger than life personality. She worked as a waitress at the Mug & Muffin and was a teacher's aide with mentally challenged children at Squantum School. She retired as an office clerk for Stop & Shop. Anna enjoyed making quilts for family and friends, playing cards on Saturday nights, praying the rosary every day, and dancing with the love of her life, Hutch. She was an outgoing little ball of energy who loved to laugh and talk to people. She was the last to leave the party and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Beloved wife of 65 years to the late Harold E. "Hutch" Hutchings, Sr. Cherished mother of Sharon Kimball and her husband Brad of Lenoir, NC, Regina Doyle of Pembroke, Michael Hutchings of Squantum, Theresa Vradenburg and her husband Jeff of Quincy, David Hutchings and his wife Deb of Quincy, and the late Harold E. Hutchings, Jr. Devoted Grammie of Gwynne and Michael Doyle and his wife Amanda, all of Pembroke, Ryan and Nicholas Hutchings of Squantum, Sarah Hutchings of Mashpee, and Haley and Graham Vradenburg and Gavin Hutchings, all of Quincy. Great-Grammie of Kaylin and Kylea Doyle of Pembroke. Anna was the youngest sister and was predeceased by her 13 siblings. Also survived by many nieces and nephews and friends.

Anna was an amazing wonderful woman. Always positive and smiling ready to take on the next challenge
We bonded when our families were young tracking our teen age sons to keep them from finding trouble.
We were great detectives. Mission well done. Rest In Peace Anna.

Anna: Was always loving, smiling and so much fun. She made you feel like you were a part of her family and was so gracious. She always put a smile on your face. We are so glad we got to know and spend time with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hutchings family.
