Lee Sutter Sr.

1941 - 2017

Lee Sutter, Sr., was called home to eternal rest on May 18, 2017. He was born in Milwaukee, WI, on October 16, 1941. Lee was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers. He was a longtime member of Gethsemane Lutheran Church where he lent a joyful voice to the choir and served on the church council. Lee followed in his father's footsteps and was an active member of the Free & Accepted Masons and served as Worshipful Master several times. He was also the recipient of the Hiram Award which was given in recognition of his years of service to the Masonic Order. Lee served on the board of Sierra Sunrise Sr. Apartments and spent many Saturday mornings enjoying coffee and doughnuts with his friends. Most of all, Lee was proud of his family, especially his five children. He is survived by his brother, Paul Sutter, his daughters, Karie Sutter, Kristin Shumaker, Kelly Dankbar, Kim Perry, his son, Bobby Sutter, and 7 grandchildren. He will be remembered for his buckwheat pancakes, popcorn, and playful antics at family gatherings. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 1:00pm at Gethsemane Lutheran Church, 4706 Arden Way, Carmichael, CA. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Gethsemane Lutheran Church.
