Sunday’s Obituary - Ida Wellington Peet née Hutchens

I have been working on the Walker line of my family this week, updating my online tree and connecting some Ancestry DNA matches with my trees.  So today’s obituary is for my first cousin twice removed Ida Wellington Peet née Hutchens. Ida was the daughter of John Hutchens and his wife Johanna née Walker.  Her grandparents John Walker and his wife Mary née Looby/Luby are my great great grandparents.

The Kendall Children.

I started this post a while ago and was going to finally finish and post it yesterday however our four grandchildren came over and I got sidetracked.  Our grandchildren range in age now from six down to one;  they are so full of life (each of them lights up a room when they enter it) and we feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives.  After spending the afternoon researching this post, their arrival made this tragedy even more poignant for me and so I appreciated their company even more than usual and hugged them a bit tighter too!  This morning I woke up to a cold, wet and windy Wagga day and the thought of three little girls out in August weather like this, in light weight dresses with no shoes or jumpers impacted on me even more.
