CHERYL BOND SUTTON
9/19/52 – 9/22/19
She was Lovely in Her Life;
Now Safely in the Loving Arms of Jesus
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. —Philippians 4:8
In Loving Memory of
CHERYL BOND SUTTON
by Mike Sutton
Our beloved Cheryl passed directly into the arms of her loving Savior at approximately 11:45 a.m. on September 22, 2019, under very trying circumstances. She was lovely in her life and is sorely missed by family, friends, and those who knew and loved her. Her adopted children, Anna and Michael, are already speaking of her in the eternal present. I, her husband during her stay on earth for the last forty years, am thankful for the years she shared with me. She has undoubtedly left me for a better man (the Lord Himself). Cheryl was subject to much trauma in her life; three major car accidents, four traumatic head injuries, a broken back with five major restorative surgeries over a thirty-year span— the fifth operation finally correcting the problem— additionally suffering from these injuries and corrective surgeries: broken shoulder and collarbone, broken hip, hip replacement, broken wrist, and finally a broken arm. She was a wonderful patient. In Seattle, during her back surgery, the staff nicknamed her “the Alaskan Angel.” She will be missed until our own entrance into Glory.
She is survived by her mother, Ruth Priest; brothers, Gary and Ed Bond, of whom she always had fond memories; sister, Judy, who was her constant source of mutual fun. She was preceded in death by her father, William Bond, who she remembered every year on the date of his passing in January; also her step-father, Milton Priest, a very kind man, of whom she is credited with saving his life by quickly assessing the situation and calling emergency services.
She had a gift for getting people the right care, and encouraging them in troubled times. She was an organ donor and her death of record is September 27th. She was a travel agent, extended care worker, bank teller, legal assistant, and legislative aide for the state of Alaska over a 17-year period of time. While working as a legislative aide, she worked for Carl Moses, Bill Williams, Gail Phillips, Ben Stevens, and Gary Stevens. She was also a loving wife and mother, as well as a commercial fisherman.
Memorial services were held for Cheryl Sutton on Saturday, October 12th, 2019 at Calvary Baptist Church in Ninilchik, Alaska; and a graveside ceremony was held on Saturday, October 19th, 2019 at Pittsfield Cemetery in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
