Obituary

Bessie Hutson was born July 12, 1926 to James and Mary Miller in Kinta Oklahoma. The family moved to California in 1946. She married JB Hutson in October of 1947 and they lived around the Wasco, Shafter area. They had been married less than a year when she lost her father to cancer. She always worked but the job she enjoyed most was day care. She had two daughters of her own and she baby sat her grandchildren giving her the best idea for the daycare. Bessie lost her oldest daughter Shirley Bittle in 2000 to a heart attack and her husband JB in 2010. They had been married for 62 years by this time. Bessie and JB had four grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren. She was survived by her daughter Carolyn McCurdy of Wasco. She is preceded in death by her mother, father, her husband, one daughter, grandson Larry Bittle, two older brothers Horace Miller of Woodland California and Lester Miller of Shafter. Bessie and JB were long time members of The Sounds of Pentecost Church on Palm and Filburn. They were dedicated to their faith, their family and their church. At 93 years of age she was able to “Go Home” as she put it so often from her own home thanks to her wonderful and caring Hospice team Bryan, Shaina, Maria and Bertha and especially Malia for all the words of comfort and the beautiful songs you sang to her.
