Jodie Michelle Hutchins, beloved wife and mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, mentor, and joyful servant of Christ, went home to her Savior, Jesus Christ on August 12, 2026. She was surrounded by her family and loved ones and passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus.

From her diagnosis with cancer through her final days, Jodie faced change and suffering with the same thoughtful faith, quiet strength, humor, and deep love that marked her life. Cancer took much from her, but it could not take what was most deeply hers: her identity in Christ, her love for people, or her confidence in the goodness and faithfulness of God.

If there is one core truth that served her every step of the way, it's that the victory that Christ won over death through the cross and His resurrection is what made it possible for her to complete the journey with peace and joy.

She leaves behind her beloved husband, Brian; her three beautiful daughters, Kaitlyn, Makayla, and Cassidy; and a remarkable community of extended family, friends, women, youth, and children whose lives bear the imprint of her faithful investment in them.

Though her life was far shorter than those who loved her would ever have chosen, it was beautifully and fully lived. We grieve deeply because we loved her deeply, but we grieve with hope. Jodie spent her life learning to know and delight in Jesus Christ. She now sees the One she loved face to face.

Strength and joy, dear Pilgrim, you are home.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 2:00pm at First United Methodist Church Round Rock, 1004 N. Mays Street, Round Rock, Texas 78664.
