Born on February 13, 1967, in Waco, Texas, Tammy's life was a testament to the love and grace of God, which she exemplified in every action and through her unwavering commitment to her family, friends, and community.<br /><br />Tammy passed away peacefully in Pflugerville, Texas, after a courageous battle with cancer. Her resilience and optimism throughout her illness were an inspiration to all who knew her. She was a beacon of hope and strength, reminding us all of the power of faith in the most challenging times.<br /><br />She was the cherished wife of Mark Hutchinson, with whom she shared a loving marriage filled with mutual respect and devotion. Together they raised four wonderful children: Sarah, Elise, Candace, and Scott. Tammy's role as a grandmother was one she held dear, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and joy in her grandchildren: Elwin, Sloane, Noah, Caleb, Amaris, Mila, and Lucy.<br /><br />Tammy was the beloved sister of Catherine, Bob, and Tim, with whom she shared an unbreakable bond and countless cherished memories. Her family was her bedrock, and she nurtured each relationship with care and intentionality, always there to offer support, wisdom, and a listening ear.<br /><br />Her faith in Jesus Christ was the cornerstone of her life. Tammy's relationship with God was evident in her every action, from her involvement in church activities to the way she gracefully lived out her Christian values. She was a member of her community choir and church choir, where her voice soared in praise and worship, touching the hearts of all who heard her sing.<br /><br />Tammy's interests were as rich and varied as her character. An avid quilter, she crafted beautiful works of art that warmed the bodies and souls of their recipients. A lover of history, she could often be found with her nose in a book, absorbing the lessons of the past. Reading was more than a pastime for Tammy; it was a way to explore the world and understand the human experience. Her creativity was not limited to her quilting; it was woven into the fabric of her life, coloring her approach to problem-solving and her interactions with others.<br /><br />Those who knew Tammy will remember her as a faith-filled, thoughtful, and creative soul. She had a remarkable ability to see the best in people and to encourage them to recognize their own potential. Her legacy is one of compassion, kindness, and faith.<br /><br />As we bid farewell to Tammy Hutchinson, we do so with heavy hearts, yet we rejoice in the knowledge that she is at peace with her Creator. Her life was a beautiful reflection of the virtues she held dear, and she will be profoundly missed by all who were blessed to know her. We take comfort in the promise of eternal life and in the belief that we will see her again in the presence of our Lord and Savior.<br /><br />Tammy's life was celebrated in a service that honored&nbsp;her memory and the immeasurable impact she had on those around her. Her spirit lives on in the lives of her family, her friends, and in the countless moments of kindness that ripple out from the love she shared with us all.<br /><br /><em>&ldquo;So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.&rdquo;</em>&nbsp;<span>Colossians&#8236; &#8237;3&#8236;:&#8237;12&#8236;-&#8237;13&#8236; &#8237;NASB1995&#8236;&#8236;<br /><br />Learn more about Tammy Hutchinson:</span><br /><a href="https://www.beckchapels.com/obituaries/Tammy-Hutchinson?obId=46951760" target="_blank">Online Memorial (Beck Funeral Home)</a></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cynthia Ann (Rogers) Minnick]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/stories/cynthia-ann-rogers-minnick]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/stories/cynthia-ann-rogers-minnick#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 14 Dec 2017 17:37:15 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[biographies]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/stories/cynthia-ann-rogers-minnick</guid><description><![CDATA[ Cynthia (Cyndy) Ann Minnick, 70, of Hutto, Texas, passed away on November 20, 2017.

She was born on October 31, 1947 in Clinton, Oklahoma to Charles Burney Rogers, Sr. and Virginia (Ginny) Inez (Smith) Rogers.<br /><br />Cyndy was preceded in death by her parents and sister-in-law Jeanie Rogers of Taylor. She is survived by her husband, Tom Minnick of Hutto, daughter Rachael Wilkins and husband David of Hutto, son David Minnick and wife Crystal of Hutto, brother Charles Burney Rogers Jr. (Smokey) of Taylor, granddaughter Krystina (Minnick) Beach and husband Keith of Round Rock, grandson Tyler Minnick and wife Kailee of El Paso, great-grandsons Eli Minnick and Kaiden Beach and niece Casey Rogers of Round Rock.<br /><br />Cyndy grew up in Taylor, Texas and graduated from Taylor High School in 1966, where she was active in several school activities &amp; organizations. She sang in the choir and was a featured soloist at her graduation.<br /><br />She had a very close and rich relationship with the Lord and an unwavering faith that He would remain faithful in every circumstance. One of her great loves was studying the Word of God, especially the study of&nbsp; prophecy and the Hebrew language and history. She had a deep and profound insight into the Word and a Biblical understanding that inspired many.<br /><br />Cyndy had a sincere compassion for those who are hurting and lonely, and she had a strong maternal instinct toward anyone needing love and tenderness. Whenever there was a need, she served in a quiet, unassuming way, preferring to remain behind the scenes. She hated injustice at any level and always fought for the underdog. While she had a defined sweetness about her, she was also sassy, had a quick wit and loved to laugh. She was dearly loved by her family and respected by all who knew her. Even in her final years at the nursing home when her discomfort was increasing, she became known for her spunk and one-liners.<br /><br />She quietly had a lasting influence on those whose lives she touched, and she will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.<br /><br />Learn more about Cyndy Minnick:<br /><a href="https://youtu.be/4jAAF0gLT5Q" target="_blank">Watch Cyndy's Memorial Video</a><br /><a href="http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/uploads/8/3/2/3/8323888/mom_memorial_pgm.pdf" target="_blank">View/Download Funeral Program (PDF)</a><br /><a href="http://www.memorialsolutions.com/sitemaker/memsol.cgi?user_id=2038565" target="_blank">Online Memorial (Beck Funeral Home)</a><br /></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div><div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden;"></div> 				<div id='831724498975768875-gallery' class='imageGallery' style='line-height: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0'><div id='831724498975768875-imageContainer0' style='float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;'><div id='831724498975768875-insideImageContainer0' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75.08%;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/uploads/8/3/2/3/8323888/momdad-wedding-small_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery831724498975768875]'><img src='http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/uploads/8/3/2/3/8323888/momdad-wedding-small.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='400' _height='506' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:59.35%;top:0%;left:20.33%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='831724498975768875-imageContainer1' style='float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;'><div id='831724498975768875-insideImageContainer1' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75.08%;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/uploads/8/3/2/3/8323888/momdad_orig.png' rel='lightbox[gallery831724498975768875]'><img src='http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/uploads/8/3/2/3/8323888/momdad.png' class='galleryImage' _width='400' _height='514' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:58.42%;top:0%;left:20.79%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='831724498975768875-imageContainer2' style='float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;'><div id='831724498975768875-insideImageContainer2' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75.08%;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/uploads/8/3/2/3/8323888/mom1_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery831724498975768875]'><img src='http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/uploads/8/3/2/3/8323888/mom1.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='400' _height='398' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:75.45%;top:0%;left:12.27%' /></a></div></div></div></div><span style='display: block; clear: both; height: 0px; overflow: hidden;'></span></div> 				<div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dan Moody Swenson]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/stories/dan-moody-swenson]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/stories/dan-moody-swenson#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 11 Aug 2014 20:45:12 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[biographies]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.minnickfamilycemetery.org/stories/dan-moody-swenson</guid><description><![CDATA[ FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTSVisitation: Thursday, August 14 | 5-7 PM Service: Friday, August 15 | 11 AMScott's Funeral Home Chapel | 904 E.
