Ronald Edwin Hutcheson was born June 22, 1939 in Marshalltown, Iowa. He was one of five children blessed to Raymond “Fred” and Millie “Fern” (Bridges) Hutcheson. Ron grew up in Marshalltown and State Center attending Marshalltown High School.

After graduation, Ron began working as a truck driver and then became a driver for Borden Dairy. He met Clemma “JoAnn” Sleege and on May 30, 1962, they were united in marriage at the Church of Christ in Marshalltown. Shortly after, Ron enlisted in the United States Air Force where he served his country honorably while being stationed in Michigan and Paris, France. After an honorable discharge from service, Ron returned home to Marshalltown where he and JoAnn began a family of their own and raised two children, Lisa and Michael. Ron began work for Meads Dairy until leaving to work at Fisher Controls. Ron was a hard worker and often held two jobs at a time. While working for Fisher, he worked for the Iowa Parcel Service. In 2001, he retired from Fisher Controls. They remained in Marshalltown until 2015 when they moved to Texas to be closer to their children.

In his free time, Ron was a member of the American Legion Post 46 and the Marshalltown Church of Christ. He spent many afternoons when he was able going out for games of golf with Pastor Prescott. He will be remembered as always being a hard worker, a faithful man, devoted husband and was caring to anyone who needed help.
