Mary Hutchins

Mary Quinn Hutchins, 84, of Spartanburg, died peacefully at home on Monday, March 21, 2011 after a long illness. A native of Spartanburg, she was born July 1, 1926 to the late A. C. Quinn and Minnie Lee Quinn Perry. A graduate of Spartanburg High School, she lived in Spartanburg her entire life except for several years in her early 20's when she moved to California to work. Mary retired from Willard Oil Company after many years of service where she served as office manager and bookkeeper. A member of Fairview Baptist Church, she was active in the Fellowship Sunday School Class until her illness prevented her from attending. She was a loving sister, aunt, and friend. She married Baylus Irwin "Hutch" Hutchins on August 6, 1949. They were married for 45 years until his death in 1994. She lived for 35 years on Longwood Drive and made the courageous decision in 2006 to move to White Oak Estates. Although they never had children, they loved, and were loved by many nieces and nephews throughout the years. Survivors include two sisters, Joan and husband Jay Goins of Clarksville, TN and Omega and husband Sam West of Spartanburg; many nieces and nephews; and a special friend, Grady Towery.
