Joan K. Sutton
March 5, 1938 ~ August 6, 2023
Age 85
Joann was born in Worthington, Minnesota on the fifth of March 1938. Her father, Joseph Marco, had a farm near Brewster and that is where Joann grew up. Her early years were troubled with severe asthma and living on a farm likely didn’t help. Joann entered school September 5, 1944 and all through grade school her grades were above average. She went to high school in Brewster and again did well although because of asthma she was not always able to take part in physical activities. Joann graduated in 1956 and moved to Omaha, Nebraska. In 1958 John Sutton, just out of the army met an old friend, Bob Moss, who said he has a girlfriend who has a sister John might like. To shorten the story, Bob married his girlfriend, Marilyn, and John married her sister, Joann. In 1961 a girl was born, Catherine Ann. As Cathy was growing up, the three of them would go on traveling vacations and visited many interesting places in the U. S. The couple bought a house on 34th Avenue in South Omaha where they lived until John retired from Western Electric in 1988. They then moved to Bellevue in 1992. Joann was a Jehovah’s Witness for most of her adult life and was active as long as she could be. John feels he could not have found a better wife, partner, or friend to spend his life with and I still and will always love Joannn. John
