Colleen Q. "KoKo" Sutton

This precious gem will be missed and spoken of fondly for many generations to come. Her positive personality and Shirley Temple like face and spunk crept into ever aspect of her life and into the hearts of so many including myself. She was often there at holidays and visits never nagging and complaining but loving on us and bring the family together. If she wasn't busy listening and uniting us she was adding beauty to what ever she could get her hands on ... foral arrangements, wall hangings,...

Dear Family of Koko. I met Koko thru Toastmasters. Loved her from the get go. Full of spunk and Joy. She always make the newcomers feel so welcomed. A heart as big as a mountain always willing to help out. She always spoke with such confidence. I feel so fortunate to have known her. My prayers are with you at this time of loss. May the Lords love shower you with strength to get through this. God Bless you. Steve Williams Canby, Wilsonville ToastMasters.

I had the honor of also working with Koko at Morley for a few years. What a fabulous lady. So full of energy, so positive and always smiling. She taught me how to quilt over a period of a few months - inviting a group of Morley gals into her home. I was a terrible quilter but I loved being in her presence! I will never forget Koko!

I was very sad to hear about Koko. I was lucky enough to work with her at Morley for many years. I will always remember her smile and wonderful laugh. Koko was always very kind, caring and giving - those qualities made her such an amazing women that was able to be a postive influence to so many.

I was sad to hear of the passing of Koko. I worked with her at Morley for several years until she retired. She was perky, positive and full of life and enjoyable to work with. I only hope I have half the energy she had when I retire-she was one busy lady!

Dear Family of Koko Sutton:
on behalf of the Canby Public Library I would like to express our heartfelt condolences. Koko has created a wonderful legacy at our library by starting the annual Coffee Creek Quilt exhibit. It has been fun to work with her and she will be missed by all of us.

A report on television told how celebrities, because of their considerable talents, are able to make considerable sums of money for their estates after passing. Contrast that to our friend Koko. With her considerable talents Koko left an estate of values; a legacy of being joyful in every day; of learning to achieve beautiful and meaningful things with small steps; of coming up with great ideas, and then doing the behind the scenes things necessary to make them happen; of believing that...

Moreen, Gail, Kathy and Family,

I am so grateful that Koko had a true and abiding faith in God. She was an inspiration to me and so many others on so many levels.

She has broken our hearts by leaving us, but she fought the good fight and is now with her Heavenly Father – probably square dancing with her husband, straightening up heaven, getting everything organized and recruiting volunteers!

I must admit that I am glad no one ever let her have a referee's...
