Monica Mae Morris (Hutchins), 75, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2025, at Cheshire Medical Center, Keene, New Hampshire with her loving daughter by her side. Born on January 31, 1950, in Burlington, Vermont, Monica lived a life rooted in love for her family and a deep sense of connection to those around her.

Monica was the daughter of Owen Hutchins Sr. and Helen M. Hutchins. She grew up in a large and lively household as one of nine siblings—four sisters and five brothers—a dynamic that shaped her warm spirit and enduring devotion to family. Known affectionately as the “fun aunt,” Monica had a remarkable memory for birthdays and never missed an opportunity to celebrate her loved ones. Her sentimental nature and joyful presence left lasting impressions on all who knew her.

She spent much of her professional life working at Silver Forrest of Vermont, where she brought dedication and care to her work. Her commitment extended beyond the workplace into every aspect of her life, especially when it came to those she held dear. Monica married the love of her life on Ronald “Peanut” Morris on July 10, 1993.

Monica was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ronald “Peanut” Morris; her parents; brothers, Glen Hutchins and Raymond Hutchins; and sisters, Virginia Howard, Brenda Hatt, and Nancy Farrell. She is survived by her loving daughter, Ronda Morris; granddaughter, Hannah Sheldrick of North Carolina; grandson, Alex Sheldrick of Middlebury, Vermont; brothers, Jack Hutchins of Newfane, Daniel Hutchins of Brattleboro, and Owen Hutchins Jr. of Vernon; sister, Elaine Greenwood of Brattleboro; as well as many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. Monica’s legacy lives on through the laughter she shared, the memories she helped create, and the unwavering love she gave so freely. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
