Deward and family. I know I truly will miss Ruby, she was so loving and friendly. She was one of my favorite aunts on the Sutton side of the family. I know that by now many adjustments have taken place for you all, but I also know how much you will miss her. I continue to keep you in my prayers. Love to you all!

"Mrs. Ruby" was a fixture at TKO. She truly cared for everyone who walked in the door. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

Mrs. Ruby Sutton held a special place in the hearts of her family and in the hearts of those who knew her within TKO Karate. As the parent of a TKO Karate member, I noticed that Mrs. Sutton took care of business needs in a polite and professional manner. I also noticed that parents and karate members of all ages enjoyed visiting with her. I was most impressed with Mrs. Sutton because the young children as well as the teenagers and young adults could easily communicate with her and were drawn to her for friendship. I personally have fond memories of my conversations with her, and my son has special memories of her, too. We send our sympathy to her immediate family, her family at TKO Karate and to all who will dearly miss her.

God saw that you were getting tired, so He put His arms around you, and whispered, "Come to Me". with tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and though we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. May God Bless you all at this difficult time. And may your memories of her last Forever. Michele, Dale and Hunter Carron

Dear Sutton Family-You know that we all share your loss; Mrs. Ruby was a blessing to anyone who ever came across her path. She showed Chance (and me!) how to tie his belt more times than I can count; and told me how to get stains out of the white uniform, and sewed on all his patches, and... Thank you so much for sharing Mrs. Ruby with us. Love, Charlotte, Jeff and Chance Ryan

To the Sutton Family, We share your grief. We will always remember the great lady Ruby was. TKO will not be the same place again, without her. She has touched so many lives. Who else will we ever know that always had a smile and helping hand for ANYONE in need? How many students did she teach to tie their karate belt for the first time (and second and third...)? And what about those Dum-Dum lollipops? We won't look at one ever again and NOT remember sweet, gentle, kind Ruby. That was our Ruby-an angel here on Earth. Now she is our Heavenly angel who will always watch over those she cared about so deeply. We feel truly blessed to have had Ruby in our lives. God, keep Ruby wrapped in Your loving arms. Lord, please bless the Sutton Family. We are with you always, Frank, Nicole, Nico and Frankie Lopez

Over the last few years our family has had the pleasure to really get to know Ruby. She is a lady of great love, warmth and integrity - who has enlightened are days and will always be missed. Being a part of the "TKO Family" has been such a joy, and I know that her love for everyone there will always continue as she will bless us all from above. Our love and prayers are with you all.

Mrs. Ruby Sutton was a delite to talk with at TKO in Keller!
She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.
It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.
We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.
May Mrs. Ruby rest in Peace!
