Rebecca Diane Hutcheson

Rebecca Diane Hutcheson, 67, of Kansas City, Missouri, passed away peacefully in her sleep on June 21, 2026, with her beloved husband, Wade, by her side. Her passing followed a precious week spent surrounded by her children, daughters Jessie and Claire who had traveled from out of town and son Ethan living locally. Born on July 28, 1958, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Becky was the cherished daughter of Sharon and Donald Cavnar. Becky graduated from John Marshall High School in 1976 and went on to earn her Associate degree from community college. She began her career in Oklahoma’s oil and energy industry, working as a Production Secretary for Anson Oil Company. On November 8, 1980, she married her soulmate and life partner, Wade Hutcheson, beginning a remarkable journey together that spanned 46 years. As Wade’s work in the oil industry led them through several moves, they eventually settled in Wichita, Kansas, before making their final relocation to the greater Kansas City area. It is there where they built a loving family and welcomed their three children, Ethan, Jessie, and Claire. Becky embraced what she considered the most important role of her life—being a mother and homemaker. She was known for her spunky sense of humor, quick wit, and infectious personality. Becky had a remarkable green thumb and took pride in her beautiful gardens. Family and friends fondly remember her homemade spaghetti and macaroni and cheese, as well as her unwavering devotion to her family, faith, and friendships. Becky found joy in gardening, floating in her pool on sunny days, spending time with her children, and building Legos with her grandsons, Rhett and Levi. She treasured every moment shared with family, friends, grandchildren, and her beloved fur-grandbaby, Nikko. Through countless acts of kindness, Becky touched the lives of many. She had a unique gift for making everyone feel loved, included, and welcome. Her faith, contagious laugh, and ability to bring comfort and joy to any situation will be remembered by all who knew her. Becky is survived by her loving husband, Wade Hutcheson; her children, Ethan Hutcheson, Jessie Hutcheson, and Claire Thurmond; her daughter-in-law, Shanna Hutcheson; her son-in-law, Edwin Thurmond II; and her cherished grandsons, Rhett and Levi Hutcheson. She was preceded in death by her parents, Sharon and Donald Cavnar; her brother, David Cavnar; her mother-in-law, Mary Hutcheson; and her father-in-law, John Hutcheson. Private services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a cancer charity of your choice. Though our hearts are broken by her loss, we find comfort in the memories she gave us, the lessons she taught us, and the love she leaves behind. Her strength, grace, faith, and enduring love will continue to guide us every day.
