Kathryn Nadine (Scott) Hutchison

July 21, 1939 - October 26, 2019

Kathryn Nadine (Scott) Hutchison, 80, passed away October 26, 2019, at Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City. Kathryn was born July 21, 1939, at the hospital in Boonville. She was the only child of Edward “Whizzer” Scott and Thelma Lucille Chamberlain. As a child, Kathryn enjoyed growing up on the farm and playing with her pets. She was a 1957 graduate of Morgan County R-II High School in Versailles. She took pride in the fact that she never missed a day of school during her high school years. Kathryn was a lifelong resident of Morgan County and a member of the Versailles Second Baptist Church where she was serving as treasurer. Kathryn married Col. Jackie “Jack” Don Hutchison on September 20, 1958. Jack and Kathryn had three children - Dick, Judy Jo and Lana. In addition to being a housewife, Kathryn held many jobs throughout her lifetime which included working at the Versailles Bifocal Plant, MFA, raising and selling dogs, Morgan County Sheriff’s Department as a Deputy, and Four Seasons In-Home Services. Kathryn was also the first mother to ever serve on the Morgan County School Board and became President later on during her twelve years on the board. Along with her husband Jack, and their ox teams and wagons, they appeared in several movies including, “Far and Away” starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. She was even able to teach Tom Cruise a few dance steps. Kathryn was very well versed in her life - from yodeling and making her famous fried chicken and macaroni and cheese to fighting for the rights of the disabled, veterans, youth and senior services on the Missouri State Board for In-Home Council, to skinning her own deer. She truly enjoyed turkey and deer hunting, killing her last deer at the age of 77. She also made sure to take each of her grandsons hunting when they were young. Some of her other hobbies included dancing, supporting the Democratic party, traveling in her RV to Bluegrass festivals and the Missouri State Fair, which she had done just this past August. She was a member of Rhonda Vincent’s fan club and went to watch her perform as often as she could. She was proud to call Rhonda her friend. Bringing her the most joy was keeping her great-granddaughter, Addison. Gone on to glory before Kathryn were her parents, Ed and Thelma Scott; her husband, Jack Hutchison; and her daughter, Lana Jai Andersen (who passed away just 99 days before her Mom). Kathryn will live on through the family she left behind, which includes her son and daughter-in-law, Dick and LaVena Hutchison of Sedalia, MO; daughter, Judy Jo Hutchison of Versailles, MO; son-in-law, Chris Andersen of Versailles, MO; five grandchildren, Ashley Anderson, Seth, Cole and Chance Hutchison, and Dodge Andersen; six great-grandchildren, Addison, Scarlett, Rennick, Younger, Griffin, and Marlow Hutchison; plus many more family and friends. At the request of Kathryn, she was laid to rest next to her husband in the Versailles Cemetery in a small, graveside memorial service held on Friday, November 1, 2019. In attendance was her immediate family and her pastor and adopted son, Rev. Robert Ross who gave the eulogy. Music was performed by Robert Ross and her grandson, Dodge Andersen. After the service, the family gathered at The Legacy Barn where miniature pony rides were given to all of the great-grandchildren in honor of Kathryn and the love for her own pony, Daisy. Arrangements are under the direction and care of the Kidwell-Garber Funeral Home of Versailles.
