Kathryn Hutchinson, 69
Kathryn Darlene (POKE) Hutchinson was called away Thursday, September 26, 2024 in to the arms of her lord and savior Jesus Christ to hold forever.
Kathryn was born August 8, 1955, in Bly, Ore., to Bobby John Hutchinson and Madeline Hutchinson. Kathyrn grew up in Beatty, Ore., and while a young girl, attended the Beatty Valley Church with her mom, Madeline and Calvin Hutchinson, where her mom played the piano and sang. Kathryn never lost her faith in her lord and savior, Jesus Christ. She also enjoyed riding her favorite horse throughout the mountain areas around Beatty with her dog along her side. Later, life took her to Klamath Falls, where she had two sons, Archie Jason Snider and Jeremy Ardell Snider. As a single mother, Kathryn learned how to work and take care of her family, first working for a number of years for Molatores Motel and then worked and learned the complicated computer system that’s involved in the trucking industry cashering systems with the Worden Highway 97 truck stop and then proved to be a valuable employee at the Highway 97 Eighteen Wheeler Truck stop and then worked as a cashier at Purple Parrot lottery stores until illness forced her to no longer be able to do the things she enjoyed.
Kathryn was very good and enjoyed making craft items for her house and gifts for her family and friends. She was also an excellent seamstress and also enjoyed beading gifts until her eyesight forced her to no longer be able to do the things that she enjoyed. Her excellent horsemanship also allowed her to compete for the Klamath tribes 1972 all Indian Rodeo Queen competition that was held at the Klamath Falls fair grounds rodeo arena, while not winning the Queen position, her skills awarded her the Rodeo Princes positions which she enjoyed very much.
Kathryn was much loved and will be forever missed by all her family and friends for her great smile and wonderful sense of humor. Kathryn’s family would like to thank all the wonderful and gracious ladies at Hospice for the care they gave Kathyrn in her last days. God bless yo uall.
