Mag was born to David and Catherine Fritz on July 24, 1926 in Foremost to a big family. Later in life, she married Alex Hutchinson on November 22, 1942 in Bow Island. Eventually Mag and Alex settled in Taber where they had their two children, Linda and Rod. Mag started as a cook in the Taber Hospital and furthered her education to become a Dietary Technician. She worked at the hospital until her retirement, just before the new hospital was built. It was there, where she met many good friends. After retiring, mom could enjoy her love of playing cards, going to bingo with her daughter and granddaughters, bowling, watching soaps, curling, watching her grandsons play hockey and many trips to Reno and Las Vegas. Mom was an excellent mother and grandmother and for everyone’s birthday she made their special meal which varied from hot dogs, to cream chicken, to roast beef and yorkshire pudding, to dumph noodles and sausage. Mom was the happiest when she had family come to visit and cooked for them.

She will be greatly missed by her children and grandchildren.
