Mamie Sutton

Mamie Evelyn Sutton was born on August 7, 1933 to Albert and Deloraise Cook in Limestone County, Alabama.  She was 90 when she passed from this life on August 26, 2023.  She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Carrol Ray Sutton, by her parents, as well as by her sister Doris Jackson, three sisters-in-law, Catherine Sutton, Patsy Sutton, and Georgia Sutton, and 4 brothers-in-law, Douglas Sutton, Paul Sutton, Gerald Sutton and Charles Sutton.  Mrs. Sutton has five children, Belinda Sutton-Mitchell, Thomas Sutton (wife Jane), Sandi Klein (husband Steve), Annette Beutjer (husband Tim), and Jonathan Sutton (wife Samantha).  She is survived by her sister Anita Hall (husband Ray) and her brother Stanley Cook. She also leaves 18 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and a host of friends and loved ones.

The visitation will be at the McRae Funeral Home in Boaz at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, with the funeral following at 3:00 p.m. with Tim Sutton and Jonathan Sutton officiating. Pallbearers are her grandsons: Jason, Mark and Chris Sutton, Patrick and Cameron Beutjer, Andrew and Thomas Mitchell, and Will Sutton. 

Mamie Sutton adored her husband, loved her family, and cherished her brothers and sisters in Christ.  She had few past times, but she enjoyed talking with people.  Above all, Mamie was a Christian who dedicated her life to raising her family and being supportive of her husband in his preaching the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  She lived to glorify God, and to that end her life touched numberless lives through the hospitality and kindness she showed to all she came in contact with.  Her passing is but a transition that she longed to make. She now awaits a glorious day and “the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12).
