Janine Sutphen Obituary
A long-time Unitarian Universalist, Janine enthusiastically participated in the annual Southern UU Summer Institute in Charlottesville, VA. She was most recently a member of the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Durham. Her careers included science teacher, programmer, writer and indexer. An active and enthusiastic member of the Durham Symphony, she played cello and maintained the symphony web site.
Janine led a joyful and creative life. She sewed, quilted, knitted, wove and gardened, played cello and Celtic harp, and shared everything with her friends and loved ones. She was also extremely generous with her humor and encouragement, and often challenged and inspired people to take life-changing actions. She met any challenge with determination and perseverance, including raising her sons alone. She was outspoken, strong and an independent 5'2 of integrity. She was always ready to make you laugh with her humorous wisecracks and big smile. She would do anything for her friends, and we would do anything for her. How we miss you, Janine!
Janine Sutphen is survived by her three sons, Christopher, Robin and Darren Sutphen, and hundreds of friends who love her and miss her.
