Dorothy Hutto Obituary

Dorothy "Dot" Alice Shaw Hutto died peacefully November 29, 2016, at her residence. She was born August 24, 1931, in Monroe, NC, to the late Albert and Ruth Shaw.

Dot was the former office manager and seamstress with Contemporary Furniture Designs in Stallings, NC. Following retirement, she enjoyed long trips to the beach with her husband. However, her heart was always at home where family and great grands were. Dot would never let them stay too long because she needed to see the grands. Preceding her in death was her husband, JR Hutto, in 2013.

Survivors include sons, Donald "Steve" Hutto (wife, Judy) and David Hutto (fiancee, Paula); grandchildren, Kim Gordon (Michael), Caren Dowless (husband, Russell) and Christopher (wife, Dina); great-grandchildren, Curtis Gordon, Abby and Alivia Dowless, and Avery Hutto. Also surviving are her sisters, Mildred Walker and Martha Charo; and brother, Lawrence Shaw (wife, Donna.)

A memorial service will be held 2:00 pm Saturday, December 3rd, at McEwen Funeral Service, Mint Hill Chapel. The family will receive friends immediately following the service.
