Pamela Sutton Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 14, 2025.
Pamela Sue "Pam" Sutton, age 65, of Patterson, MO, departed this life Tuesday, November 11, 2025, unexpectedly near Harvell, MO. Pam was born July 9, 1960, to parents Richard Ernest "Ernie" Foster and wife Norma "Jean" (White) Foster at Breese, IL.

Growing up in the Foster home was never a dull moment. She was helpful to her parents and ever helped Ernie in the log woods, skidding logs from time to time.

Pam was a graduate of Clearwater High School. After high school she began working at Brown Shoe Company in the 1970's. There at Brown she met Kenny. Soon after they were married and have spent forty-seven years together. She was a blessing to Kenny and he knew it. After Brown Shoe Pam found work with Hackworth and Schuller Law Office in Piedmont and later took the management of Wayne County Abstract at Greenville and Current River Abstract at Doniphan. In total she spent forty-three years in her occupation.

There is a lot to say about Pam. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend. Her ways were all about family. Her devotion was known to all those around her. She was a simple and elegant woman that knew the important parts of this life. Pam was a Christian and had past attended New Liberty United Baptist Church in rural Piedmont and later New Hope Church in Silva. She was saved at an early age and dedicated her time to children's ministries in the church nursery and during vacation bible school. She was not a showy or extravagant person. She found simple joys of walks in nature admiring God's glory, growing pumpkins, and spoiling her family with cookies and cakes. In return Kenny spoiled her with dark chocolate.

Pam is survived by her loving husband Kenny, her loving son, Jordan Sutton and wife Lizzy of Greenville, MO; her loving mother, Jean Foster, of Piedmont, MO; her loving sister Tammy Crowley and husband Curtis of Knob Noster, MO; a niece, Breeanna Osban and husband Dustin of Oklahoma City, OK.

She was preceded in death by her father.

Pam has left us but her imprint on our lives will never leave.
