Rose Marie Helms Sutton

We are sorry to hear of Mrs. Sutton's death. We always thought so much of her and Mr. Sutton. We would like to get in touch with Poochie but don't know how to. If you can, please call us at (704)394-9758. Our prayers and thoughts are with your whole family during this time.

Mrs. Sutton’s daughter Jan is my aunt and we now share a special bond of having our mothers virtually together go hand and hand into their next life.

Mrs. Sutton’s devotion to her children and their rearing is apparent to me personally through Jan’s actions. Always caring, always taking the extra step that brings so much joy to others.

Jan, and family, I am deeply sorry for your loss.

She would always have coconut cake for my father and later for me. She thought the world of my children. She always had nothing but good things to say about people, even when Poogie and I blew up crabs at the...
