We would like to congratulate a couple of our exceptional staff members, Mike O'Connor & Kim Colbert, for their recent accomplishments. Mike was recognized by the Missouri Funeral Directors & Embalmers Association for over 40 years of service as a Missouri Licensed Funeral Director. Mike began his funeral career on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1981. He has been with Hutchens Funeral Homes since June 1, 1994. Kimberly Colbert was named to the Board of Directors for the Missouri Funeral Directors & Embalmers Association. Kimberly also proudly serves as a committee member for the MFDEA 6 & 7 District. Several other staff members were on hand to help them celebrate. Congratulations to both Mike and Kim!
