IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Christine Annette
Hutchinson
May 2, 1960 – November 21, 2025
Hutchinson, Christine A. found peace on November 21, 2025, at the age of 65.
Chris leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and unwavering love. She is
survived by her devoted wife and best friend, Laura DeLain, who cherished every day
shared together. She will be forever missed by her children; her adoring daughter Katie
(Jeff) Grieger and her loving son John (Blair) Hutchinson, who knew her as their steady
source of love and the warm, sweet natured humor that made every moment with her
lighter.
Chris is also held in the cherished memories of her mother, Adana Hilkemeier, preceded
in death by her father George Hull and Adana's late husband Donald Hilkemeier. She
will be remembered lovingly by her brothers Steve Hull and Jeff Hull; and her sisters
Jody Chritton, Kim Crouch, and Tracey Carver. She held a special place in the hearts of
her brothers-in-law, sister-in-law, many nieces and nephews, step-daughters Becca and
Beth, and George Hutchinson, the father of her children and lifelong friend. Her
treasured grandchildren, Elliot, Charlotte, Daniel, Evelyn, and Beau will feel her
absence deeply, looking back fondly on their "Grandma Sandwiches" and cherishing the
countless moments they shared in her bright and joyful company.
To know Chris was to feel welcomed, supported, and deeply loved. Her family will carry
her spirit with them always.
Visitation will be held on December 7th from 11:30 AM-1:30 PM at Prasser-Kleczka
Funeral Home, 3275 S. Howell Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53207, with celebration of life to
follow at 1:30 PM. Brightly colored attire is welcome and encouraged.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and Project
Concern of Cudahy are appreciated.
Chris found strength and community in her fellowship with Bill W., a journey that deeply
shaped her life and the lives of those she touched. Chris's family would like to extend
their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Aurora VNA Zilber Family Hospice for the
compassionate care and comfort they provided.
