Catherine (Rena) Marie Hutchison

January 26, 1937 – January 1, 2024

Memorial candle

It is with a heavy heart that we bid a peaceful, loving farewell to Catherine (Rena) Marie Hutchison (nee Oliver).

Rena passed away peacefully on Monday January 1st, at St. Michael’s hospital surrounded by her loving family at the blessed age of 86.

Rena is survived by her beloved husband and best friend Alex of 66 magical years, her 2 children Alan Hutchison (Karen) and Julie Mills (Cameron), her 5 beautiful grandchildren Eric, Leanne, Andrew, Stuart, and Alison, her “wee” brother Norman (Margaret), sisters-in-laws Betty (Dave), and Anne.

She will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends, in Canada, Scotland, the USA and Australia. Rena has touched so many people with her incredible warmth, compassion and radiant smile. Her laughter, quick humour and positivity would light up a room.

She was an active member of the community and Grace Presbyterian Church, where many deep friendships were formed.

Rena will be most remembered by her love and commitment to her family and friends. And of course, her delicious Scottish shortbread.

The visitation will be held at McEachnie Funeral Home 28 Old Kingston Road, Ajax on Thursday January 11th from noon-2:00pm, followed by a service at 2:00pm and reception immediately following for a chance to say “cheerio” to a beautiful lad.
