Gaynelle was a devoted member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church for 61 years. Her husband Jack often said she was the most beautiful woman he had ever known. She was deeply loved and adored by her children, who will miss her tremendously. Her greatest joys were her faith in Jesus Christ, her husband, and her family. She enjoyed tending flower gardens, spending time with loved ones, solving puzzles, and for several years co-managed Jack Hutchinson's Greenhouse and Nursery, which she inspired.
