Teresa "Terri" Lynne Sutton (Thompson)


I worked with Terri at Four Oaks, and was so struck by her huge compassion for the families and children. I think the vastness of her heart's desire to make the world better place for them, was a big load for her gentle, but fierce heart. You were fortunate if your life touched hers. She lived life full out and strong. The world was better for Terri's time here.

My sincere condolences to the family. I had the great pleasure of working with Terri at Hills Bank for 4 years. She was such a big help to me as I transitioned into my role there. Anyways helpful, kind, funny and encouraging. My nickname for Terri was Sunshine, as she was such a ray of sunshine even when we knew she wasn't having the best day with pain management. She always spoke of her children and grandchildren with such love and joy. As I moved away, we tried to remain in touch, if only for a birthday wish and to catch up. I will miss her. I hope and pray you can all find comfort in the wonderful memories I am sure you have.
