Our dear mother, Patricia A. Sutherin, of Canton, sadly passed away on Mon., Sept. 29, 2025, at the age of 86. She was born Dec. 16, 1938, in Canton, a daughter of the late Howard and Evelyn (Knape) Lantz. Patricia was a 1956 graduate of McKinley High School and retired as a Home Health Aide. She volunteered at The Salvation Army for many years and was remembered for her sense of humor. She was truly a prankster and loved to make everyone around her laugh. She was the life of the party.

Preceded in death by her daughter, Renee Sutherin, and her granddaughter, Kara Zombeck. Survived by her daughter, Sue (Jim) Fasano; her son, Ken (Laura) Sutherin; her half-brother, Benny Lantz; her granddaughter, Kassie Zombeck; and her great grandsons, Kamren and Kaden. A Private graveside service will be held. Condolences may be left at: www.gordonfuneralhomes.com.
