Norma J. Hutchison, 91, passed away peacefully Nov. 28, 2015, at Golden Living Center - Three Oaks in Marshfield. She was born Jan. 7, 1924, to N. J. and Ruth (Hankes) Nielsen in Poplar, MT, and was adopted by Edward and Emma (Nielsen) Lindquist. She moved to Sherwood Township from Nebraska in 1937.

A 1941 graduate of Neillsville High School, she trained as a Red Cross nurse’s aide at Rockford Hospital, Rockford, IL, and attended the University of Iowa. She married Robert W. Hutchison in 1943; they were divorced in 1953.

In 2008, she moved into assisted living at Young at Heart in Marshfield and to the Delaney Home in Pittsville in 2012. A devoted mother, she enjoyed gardening, classical music and spending time with family. She was a Catholic.
