Patty moved to Seneca and has spent the last 30 years with her husband, Danny Hutchinson. She worked diligently with him at Hutch-N-Son Construction. Their beautiful home on Lake Keowee was her “Happy Place” so she never desired to travel. Patty had a passion for birds, gardening, and her grandchildren who were the joy of her life. Patty also loved her Clemson Tigers and she was “All In”, never missing a football game. She was a hard worker, had a lot of talents, and touched many people’s lives. She loved helping her florist friend deliver flowers on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. She was loved by all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed by many.
