Rhethia E. Hutcheson-Beattie Obituary (2020)

Rhethia E. Hutcheson-Beattie, 91 years young hails from Royal Palm Beach, Florida by way of Center Barnstead, New Hampshire. Rhethia entered through Heaven's gates to be with the Lord on March 13, 2020. After falling asleep on Friday the Angel of the Lord whisked her away. Rhethia was a great woman of God, loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She was an accomplished cosmetologist with over 20 years at Lord & Taylor in Boston, Massachusetts. Rhethia not only enjoyed cooking but excelled at it, she was known for her cornbread stuffing, turkey, fish and various styles of chicken and pretty much anything she put in a pan. Rhethia was the personification of style. Rarely a day would go by when in public, total strangers would complement her on her attire and in particular the incredible hats she would rock and she was always singing her favorite songs. Despite retiring, she started her own successful business as a licensed manicurist. She was dearly loved by her late husband of 51 years, Dr. Roger M. Beattie. She is survived by her amazing eight children and seven grandchildren. Rhethia will be greatly missed. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted into the care of the Lakeside Funeral Home & Cremation Care Family, "Where Every Life is Cherished & Every Family is Treasured" 11347 Okeechobee Blvd., Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411 Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.lakesidefuneralcare.com for the Beattie family.
