The K & J’s family is devastated to share that we have lost one of our own, Ann Hutchins. Ann fought a brave and valiant battle against Breast Cancer for fourteen years. However, God called her home on Friday after her fourth recurrence became metastatic this year.
Ann became a member of the K & J’s family as a patient in 2011 and decided to join the team as a Certified Mastectomy Fitter in 2021. Ann saw this as her mission and spent the past four years helping others through their own cancer journey. Ann was a bright light who touched the lives of all she served and lived our mission every day.
Ann loved nature and was an avid gardener. In her memory we’ve started Ann’s Garden. Starting on Monday K & J’s stores will have free seed packets available to anyone interested. By spreading these beautiful native wildflowers in Ann’s Name, we can all grow together a larger network of beautiful blooms to celebrate all of those we’ve lost to this terrible disease.
All K & J’s stores will be closed on Friday April 11th as our family mourns her loss and celebrates her life.
