Julie Anne Hutchison, 66, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, February 16. She was surrounded by her son, Jim Hutchison, and lifelong friend and caregiver, Amey Raihala.

Julie was born on August 30, 1957, in Toledo, to Ronald Morgan and Barbara Gosch. She graduated from Perrysburg High School in 1975 and was known for being in the band. Julie later married her soulmate, Gary Hutchison, in 1977. Julie was an active member of Grace United Methodist Church in Perrysburg, where she dedicated many years of service as the office manager. In 2015, she relocated to the north Texas area to be closer to family.

Known for her love of music, Julie cherished singing Carole King songs with her sisters and playing card games with friends and family. She found joy in games like Sequence, Skip Bo and Euchre. Loved ones will remember how Julie would laugh before she got to the punch line when telling jokes.

Julie is survived by her children, Jim (Andrea) Hutchison and Bethany (Will) Swanek, along with her four beloved grandchildren, Brooklyn Hutchison, Mackenzie Hutchison, Cassidy Swanek and Libby Swanek. She also is survived by her step-mother, Carol Morgan, and siblings, Jill (Todd) Thornton, Kathy (Rob) Moeller and Steve (Julie) Morgan, as well as many cherished friends in both Ohio and Texas. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gary Hutchison, and parents, Ronald Morgan and Barbara Gosch.

Julie will be fondly remembered for her gentle spirit and her ability to make friends wherever she went.

A service honoring Julie’s life will take place at Grace Church in Perrysburg, on Thursday, March 14, at 11:30 a.m.
