Ms. Pauline Betty Hutchinson

March 12, 1951 - July 8, 2020

Pauline Betty Hutchinson age 69, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2020. Pauline was born on March 12th, 1951 to Sadie and Wasyl Woychuk of Andrew, Alberta. She grew up with a love of sports, science, and socializing. Her innate care for others inspired her successful career as a Registered Nurse working in hospitals in Edmonton AB, Kimberly BC, Fort Simpson NWT, The Pas MB, and Fort MacMurray AB. It was there that she met her best friend and smooth talker David. They eloped in Hawaii in 1988 and had a wonderful 19-year marriage until his passing in June 2007. In 1989, Pauline’s focus shifted with the birth of their only daughter Sarah- the family moved to High River in 1991 for Pauline to take a job as a site nurse at Cargill; and it was after this that her career took on the focus in occupational health and safety. Pauline lived for others- she was always the loudest one cheering at any sports event or concert, would gladly join you for a coffee date (at any time of day), and had a smile that would light up a room and completely improve your mood. However, her newest and favourite role was being “Grannie P” to Violet (2018) and Noah (2020) Lutz. We will miss her infectious laugh, but we take comfort in knowing her spirit lives on, watching over us as we navigate a life without her. Pauline is survived by her two sisters Nettie Andrews and Iris Worobets and her brother Michael Woychuk; as well as her loving daughter, Sarah, son-in-law Josh and her grandbabies. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Alberta Registered Nurses Educational Trust – www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/47773 . Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, July 15th at 12:00 p.m. at St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church in High River. Caring for the family is Lyle Reeves Funerals of High River (Craig Snodgrass) 403.652.4242.
