Carol Sue Hutchinson

     Carol Sue Hutchinson of Meridian, Idaho, died April 30, 2024 peacefully in her home surrounded by her family. 

     She was born December 21, 1960 in Boise, Idaho to Ray O. Pack and Lova June Pack.

     Carol graduated from Meridian High School.  She then worked for Hewlett Packard in Boise for 32 years.  There, she met her husband of 24 ½ years, Gordon Hutchinson. Together they had a cute, blended family.  After retiring from HP, they bought a gelato business, then sold that for starting their Parrot Painting Business.

     Carol loved traveling, having a passion for sailing.  They would get a crew together and made many trips to the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean and in the San Juan Islands.  Fishing in the Alaskan waters for salmon was a favorite.

Road trips on their Harleys were always a scheduled event in the warmer seasons and the winters called for the snow machines.

     Once in a while Carol would pack-up her granddaughters and Gordon and take the RV camping with the family.

     Carol is survived by her son, Cory W (Stacey) Clark and blended family: Scott (Nicky) Hutchinson, Shelby Stuart, Tyler Hutchinson, Chase (Cheryl) Hutchinson, and Sandy Sue (Chris) Wing; 14 grandchildren; 1 great granddaughter; sister, LuAnn (Mike) Losh; brother, Alan (DeAnn) Pack; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

     Carol is preceded in death by her parents and her brother Earle D. Pack.
