Mrs. Helen Jean Floyd Hutchings, age 81 of Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, passed away unexpectedly on August 11, 2025 at her residence. Helen was born August 18, 1943 in Manchester, Tennessee to the late Steve Alexander and Bessie Lowery Floyd. At an early age, Helen began her lifelong spiritual journey and discovered her love for God. Helen proudly attended Sale Creek Presbyterian Church. She loved her family, her God, and working in the medical field as a medical lab technician. However, Helen sacrificed her professional goals to fulfill her greatest love of being a devoted Mimi to her family. She quit her job after her daughter-in-law's untimely death left seven of her grandchildren without a mother. Helen's love for her family came before everything else. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by her daughter-in-law Crystal Hutchings; sisters Betty Smith and Francis England. Survivors include her husband of 60 years on August 28, 2025, Don Hutchings Two sons: Steven Hutchings and wife Kelley, Dr. Jonathan Hutchings and wife Dr. Heather Hutchings Grandchildren: Sgt. Daniel Hutchings and wife Jahnney, Nathan Hutchings and wife Kendall, Jacob Hutchings, Alex Hutchings, Anna Gardner and husband Benjamin, Rachel Hutchings, Chloe Hutchings, Stephanie Hutchings, Mia Hutchings, Ella Rose Hutchings, Katie Beth Hutchings and Caleb Hutchings Great-grandchildren: Toby Gardner and Eva Gardner Brother: Tim Floyd Sister: Ola Yates Funeral services will be conducted 1:00pm Friday, August 15, 2025 from the Chapel of Hunter Funeral Home with burial in Hutchings College Cemetery.

Dear Don, Stephen and Jonathan,

It was with great sorrow that I learned of Helen's passing . I know she will be missed by so many people. Helen had incredible wisdom and compassion. Years ago, she walked with me through some of the darkest days of my life. She loved me and cared for me well. I love her forever. I pray you will carry on her legacy of love for God and others until you are called home to God. I love your family and will be praying for you all in the days ahead. What privileged boys you were to call her....mom!!!!!

ps 46;10 be still and know that I am God. much love, Gladys villnow from our days at grace brethren chuch
