Patricia N. Hutchison, 69, of Belleville, IL, born Sunday, December 4, 1955, in Alton, IL, passed away Tuesday, November 11, 2025 at Memorial Hospital West in Belleville, IL.

Patricia worked as a Lab Tech for Engineering Lubricants – St. Louis. She was a member of St. Timothy Episcopal Church in St. Louis, MO.

Patricia had a heart that opened easily – to people, to animals, and to every creature that needed a bit of kindness. A lifelong lover of animals, she cared for them with a tenderness that reflected the compassion she carried through every part of her life.

She also shared her gifts through teaching, spending countless hours tutoring in math and science. Her patience, clarity and encouragement helped many gain confidence and joy in learning.

Patricia will be remembered for her quiet generosity, her bright mind, and the gentle way that she made the world better – one act of kindness at a time.

In her final act of love, Patricia chose to share the gift of life, offering hope and healing to others through organ and tissue donation.

She was preceded in death by her:

Parents, Sheldon Hutchison and Helen Louise, nee Housley, Butt
Sister, Peggy Hutchison

Surviving are her:

Brother, Sheldon Hutchison
Dear friends, Frank and Julie Voss of Belleville, IL

Memorials: Memorials may be made to the ASPCA.

Services: Services will be held at a later date.
