Amparo C. Hutchison

WATERVILLE – Amparo C. Hutchison, long time resident of Waterville passed away on Aug. 7, 2023 at Maine General Thayer.

The daughter of Juan Bautista Bueno Puchades and Maria Climent Pous was born in Algemesi Spain, on Dec. 27, 1952, the youngest of six children.

During her teenage years Amparo learned dress design and tailoring from two Spanish tailors and these skills guided her throughout her career, where in Virginia she became one of the head tailors for the Marine Corp. Moving to Waterville in 1988 she worked at Grondin’s Cleaners, The Curtain Shop and Marden’s.

For a number of years, she owned and operated “Amparo’s”, a wedding and formal dress shop located in downtown Waterville. Combining both her expertise in dress design and tailoring to fit her clients on their special occasions.

Her greatest passion in life was cooking, especially preparing gourmet dinners for her family and her numerous friends. It was always a treat to taste her many Mediterranean recipes along with her flare for conversation. To say she loved to talk would be a vast understatement but for her it was her superpower! She was a woman who knew what she liked and wanted. Throughout her life she touched people of every walk of life. A very special person, she will be missed by all.

She is survived by her significant other, Allan L. Rancourt, of Waterville; a daughter Rebecca Scott, (Christopher), two grandchildren, Tyler Scott and Landon Scott all of Livermore Calif.; a son, Peter Hutchison, of Port Charlotte, Fla.; two sisters, Angeles Bueno Climent of Algemesi Spain and Josefa Encarnacion Bueno Climent of Ibizia, Spain.
