TERRI HUTTON,

-

71, died on April 20, 2020, from complicati­ons following a stroke. She is survived by her loving daughter Pam Irmen(Mike), three grandchild­ren, Caroline Jane, Samuel, and McKensie, and two sisters, Peggy Yoder (Bill) and Barb Justus (Joe). She is preceded in death by and joyfully reunited with her parents Robert and Jane Johnson, her husband of 39 years Richard Hutton, her son Patrick Hutton, and sister Pam Hyatt.

Terri leaves quite a legacy to the state as she was an assistant professor at the UAMS/UALR in the Department of Communicat­ions Disorders for more than 20 years. As the director of the Clinic, she trained an entire generation of speech pathologis­ts who are now faithfully serving the public as a result of her outstandin­g training and mentorship. Terri was twice elected president of the Arkansas Speech and Hearing Associatio­n and was awarded the coveted honor as an ASHA Fellow from the American Speech and Hearing Associatio­n. She was educated at St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame, Marquette University, and Southern Methodist University.

Beyond her profession­al ac-

complishme­nts, Terri loved her family and was a constant and good friend to so many. She was one of those people who intentiona­lly stayed in touch with so many of the people she met along her journey, even high school friends from her hometown of Ft. Atkinson, Wis. Terri was never happier than when she was hosting get-togethers for family and friends around her backyard pool while her husband Richard grilled his famous ribs.

Memorials may be made to the Terri Hutton Educationa­l Fund, UAMS Department of Communicat­ions Disorders, 4301 West Markham Street, Slot 619, Little Rock, Ark., 72205. Please sign the online guestbook at griffinleg­getthealey­roth.com.
