Alice E. Hutchinson

May 29, 1919 - January 2, 2018

Alice E. Hutchinson, nee Elizabeth A. Krebs died peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday the second of January 2018 at St. Joseph Villa Nursing Home in Flourtown, Pa. She was 98 years of age. Alice was born May 29, 1919 to Charles Krebs and Elsie Ketner Krebs at her parent’s home in the Fairhill Section of Philadelphia. She was baptized at St. Edward’s Church at 8th and York Streets. She was a lifelong member of St Edward’s parish and raised her family of five within the parish community, celebrating many happy family occasions with family and friends. Alice was the youngest of four. She and her three brothers, Joseph, Donald and Thomas were known together as the “Krebsies” and were very close growing up. Alice had many happy memories of her childhood with her brothers and was particularly fond of their time at their summer home on Darby Creek where the “Krebsies” enjoyed long summer weeks canoeing and playing along the banks of the creek. Alice graduated from Kensington High School and soon met her future husband Charles Alexander Hutchinson. Alice and Charles were married on January 19, 1941 and were the proud parents of five daughters. Alice, sadly having lost her eldest daughter, Elsie Amoroso, to breast cancer at an early age, is survived by four daughters, Alice Myers, Lorraine Rensman, Joan Turner, and Carol Cliver. She pursued many interests during her life, including crochet, ceramics, watercolor and an abiding lifelong interest in history and current affairs. In later years, she and her family moved from St Edward’s parish to the Northwood section of Philadelphia where she was active in the Northwood Community Association. She lived to see both her grandchildren and great-grandchildren come of age and loved spending time with each new generation of the family. She is the beloved grandmother of Maryalice Amoroso, Christopher Myers, Lorrie Dugan, James Rensman, Karen Kelley, Jessica Siegfried, Lisa Cliver, Meghan Cliver, Caitlin Turner, and Shannon Turner, and great-grandmother to Alicia Myers, Hayden Myers, Reese Rensman, Luke Rensman, Ben Rensman, Conrad Kelley, Julian Kelley, Jack Dugan, Megan Shortt, T.J.
