ELIZABETH ANN HUTCHISON, known to her family and friends simply as "Beth", was born December 16, 1954, at Ness City, Kansas.  She was the second of four children born to William "Bill" Stallman Hutchison and Barbara Jean (Parker) Hutchison.

Beth was raised in Ness City where she attended elementary and junior high school.  The Hutchison family moved to Seiling, Oklahoma where Beth graduated from Seiling High School with the class of 1973.

Being the daughter of a country veterinarian, Beth could catch, tack-up and ride horses at a young age.  Her love for horses kept her active in nature. Whether it was 4-H, Saddle Club events, school or church activities, Beth was actively engaged and happy.  She was a "tom-boy" at heart and never lost her sense of adventure and independent nature.  Beth was a wonderful mother who was always there when needed, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance. In friendships or even one-time encounters, Beth's vibrant, welcoming, genuine interest in people was a constant.  What others may remember most is her fun personality, easy and loud laughter.

With her great determination, Beth began her higher education at Southwestern in Weatherford and completed her BSN at Northwestern in Alva.  She later earned her advanced degree as a Nurse Practitioner.  She provided more than professional care; she showed personal involvement with her patients.  She worked in several hospital settings, as well as Ringwood School, Fairview Technology Center, Urgent Care, Department of Corrections, and family clinic. Co-workers were impacted by her positive presence.  Beth had a deepness in her dark blue sparkling eyes that spoke even after her CVA when she could no longer communicate.

Beth married Leland "Sonny" Becker and they had two children, Jennifer and Benjamin.  She later married Vinson Barefoot, and they had one son, Parker.  They made their home in Ringwood and later moved to Fairview.

Beth is survived by her children, Jennifer Redinger and husband Dustin of Seiling, Ben Becker and wife Amber of Edmond and Parker Barefoot of Oklahoma City; six grandchildren: Karsyn and Kaiden Redinger, Logan, Liam, and Phoenix Becker and Noah Barefoot; one brother, Brad Hutchison and wife Andy of Canton and one sister, Kim Mansour and husband Ron of McAlester.  She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.  She was preceded by her parents, her brother Danny Hutchison, and a grandson Greyson James Redinger.
