For many years, you and Bishop Norman Hutchins poured your love, faith, gifts, and service into the people of California. Through ministry, music, prayer, encouragement, and countless acts of kindness—both seen and unseen—you helped shape lives, strengthen families, and leave a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Bishop’s voice gave the world songs of faith, victory, and hope. Beside that remarkable voice stood an equally remarkable woman—a devoted wife, ministry partner, encourager, caregiver, leader, and friend.

You stood faithfully through every season. You served with grace. You loved deeply. And you became a blessing to more people than you may ever fully know.

Now, as you prepare to begin a new chapter in San Antonio, we want to pause and surround you with the same love you have so freely given to others.

This is not goodbye. It is our opportunity to say thank you, celebrate you, and remind you that California will always be part of your extended family.

We send you forward covered in prayer, overflowing with love, and believing—as Bishop so often declared—that the best is yet to come.
