Obituary

Delores Adaline Clontz Sutton, 79, passed away Thursday, July 28, 2016. She was born January 2, 1937 in Union County, NC daughter of the late Clifford Beadie Pressley Clontz. She is also preceded in death by her husband of 60 wonderful years Joe Neal Sutton, sisters Telitha C. Stevens, Gladys Moore, and a brother Willis Clontz Funeral services will be held 11:00 AM Saturday, July 30, 2016 in Gordon Funeral Chapel, 1904 Lancaster Ave., Monroe NC 28112. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 9:30 AM until 10:45 AM at the funeral home. Burial will follow service at Lakeland Memorial Park. Delores retired from the Union County School system after 25 years, where she had been a baker at Parkwood Middle School. She would often see people that would tell her that they remembered her hand-rolled biscuits or her no-bake oatmeal cookies that she seemed to be famous for. She took pride in taking care of children. After retirement she took every opportunity to bake even if it was just to give away. She said it made her happy that people enjoyed what she made. Delores was a member of Corinth Baptist Church in Monroe. She enjoyed going to church and had grown up around most of the other church members that she felt were like family. Delores and Joe have three children, Gary Sutton (Bonnie) of Burnsville, NC, Wayne Sutton of Monroe, NC, Rebecca Sutton of Monroe, NC; four grandchildren, Krista Jill Marshall (Ronald) of Georgia, Kimberly Sutton of Burnsville, Zach Sutton of Monroe, Weston Sutton of Monroe, and three great-grandchildren. Delores is also survived by a sister Apsy Brooks of Monroe. Memorials may be made to Corinth Baptist Church, 3805 Corinth Church Rd., Monroe, NC 28112 or Hospice of Union County, 700 W. Roosevelt Blvd., Monroe NC 28112. Online condolences may be made at www.gordonfuneralservice.com
