We're so sorry for your loss. My Dad talked highly of you when he painted for you while you all lived in Lexington. I just called and told him of the sad news. He said, "Patsy always had a beautiful smile on her face." May God give you the strength your need to get through these difficult times.

Mr. Sutton,

After reading of the passing of your mother Patsy, I was reminded of a moment I spent speaking with her and Eddie at their home in Stillwater. I was simply delivering a large bundle of my father's fresh, homegrown vegetables to your father from my father. They played basketball together in Bucklin, KS, and kept in touch to a degree over the years. Through their connection I was fortunate to attend a number of OSU games, meet a number of exciting players, and even have a picture of myself, our fathers, and Roy Williams together prior to a game, cementing my love for the Cowboy's.
To the point, when I arrived at your home, Eddie met me at the door and remembered me, receiving me warmly and accepting the vegetables. Your mother walked up, Eddie introduced us, and Patsy invited me in, which I'm sure Eddie was not particularly keen on. Nonetheless, Patsy offered me something to drink while we discussed the connection between Eddie and my father. She was welcoming and so warm. We chatted briefly, which I remember fondly.
Incidentally, I do make a point, though not particularly a fan of ORU, to watch a game or two to see you and Sean coaching together, which is quite cool, to say the least.
Please know our thoughts are with you, Sean, Steve, Eddie and your families. Your mother was a wonderful lady.

God bless,

My prayers for the Sutton family. As an alumnus of the University of Arkansas, much was made of the impact Patsy had when Coach Sutton was there. I have noticed that among so many successful basketball coaches in history (John Wooden,Lute Olson,Coach K, etc.) that coach had a very supportive wife. Patsy is a example of that. God Bless!

Mrs. Patsy Sutton was my 7th grade Home Economics teacher at Monroe Junior High School, Tulsa, OK, in I believe 1961. She was beautiful, kind, and patient . Everyone loved her. I hope she knows how many people she influenced. I know her family is proud of her and will miss her, as will all her former students. What a wonderful person she was.

This is such sad news. I went to high school with Patsy, we graduated in the Class of '56. Patsy was one of the most beautiful girls in our class, but more than that she was a genuinely nice person who always went out of her way to make those around her feel more comfortable and at ease, just a truly sweet person. I saw her and Eddie at our 2011 HS reunion in Stillwater, and she was as lovely and gracious as ever. Those of us who grew up and went to school with her are truly blessed to have known her. Our hearts go out to Eddie and her wonderful sons, she was far too young-at-heart to leave us so soon. She will be missed on this mortal coil by many, but heaven is a better place today with her there.

When my oldest had his wisdon teeth removed in the late 80's, Mrs. Sutton told my mom how to use a pair of panty hose to hold the ice and place under his chin and tie on top of his head. And it works!! My parents were Dave and Norma Lee Cox. So sad to hear that she has passed away. Thank you Mrs. Sutton for the contributions you made to OSU sports. So sorry to hear this news, thoughts and prayers with her family. A Classy OSU Lady.
