Mrs. Sutton, will be missed.  During our encounter's, she had nothing but good things to say.  She always greeted me with a smile and a "Hi."   My condolences and heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Thinking of you all during this time!

I appreciate all the kind words I have read here. My mother was a great inpiration to me and I'm glad she was able to influence so many other lives.

Say hi to grandpa for me. I love you mom.

My daughter was in Mrs. Sutton's K4 class this year at CCA.  In the short time they spent together Mrs. Sutton had a grand impact on her.  Her care and devotion to the children was obvious to them and they easily loved her right back.  She will be missed dearly.
All of her family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time!

Mrs. Sutton loved her students with all her heart. She played such a huge role in my life. She was loving and supportive to me during some of the hardest years of my life. Ill never forget when I went to visit her when I was a junior in high school... She gave me some life advice that I still use to this day. You will be greatly missed, you were one loved teacher! Prayers to your family.

I had the pleasure of being Jeanne's hairstylist for the past 25 years or so. We shared raising our children, stories of our grandchildren, and how things were for her as a teacher whenever she came to see me.
She had also given me advice that I used to help my daughter get the educational help that she needed.
I always looked forward to having her sit in my chair as much as I believe she did.
Such a beautiful, sweet spirited person who gave so generously to others.
She was a lot more than just a client to me... She was a friend, and I'm really going to miss her.

Jeanne and I taught together for a number of years at LeRoy Elementary.  I valued her teaching and her friendship.  She was passionate about advocating for those who had special needs.  We exchanged many ideas, thoughts and prayers over the years.  Well done good and faithful servant.

We were next door neighbors to the Sutton family for the past 23 years and will always remember Jeanne's bright smile and the world-changing conversations we had at the mailbox and across the backyard fence. She will be dearly missed by all her friends in our neighborhood. We will never forget what a good wife, mother, teacher, friend and neighbor Jeanne was. May she rest in peace. Our sincere condolences to the Sutton family. Joe Maxwell & Barb Case (Bloomington, IL)

We are very sorry to hear this. She will be greatly missed. She was our K4 teacher this year and our daughter would talk about her often. God Bless her family.

I had not seen Jeanne since graduating Leroy High School but I always liked her. She always treated me well, and never seem to have a bad word to say about anyone. I am sure she will be greatly missed .... Debbie Phillips Bays - Class of 1969

My heart is indeed heavy after hearing the news of Mrs. Sutton's passing. She was my daughter's K-4 teacher at Calvary Christian Academy. She will be greatly missed for her love and devotion to her K-4 class. To the family, take care and thank you for sharing Mrs Sutton.

I am so sorry to hear of Jeanne's passing. I remember her very well. Bob and I were in the same class. God Bless the family. Jeanne your memory will live on.

Mrs. Sutton was a savior to me when I moved to LeRoy in third grade.  Transitioning to a new school at that age was rough, but she made every day a good day. I have often spoke or written about her over the years as someone who made a significant impact on my life.  I'm saddened to hear of her passing and offer my deepest condolences to her family.  She was an amazing woman, who will be truly missed by many.  I feel extremely blessed for having had her in my life.  She made an impact on me that will not be forgotten.

Jeanne and I spent many happy times together.   She was a great friend and I will miss her dearly.

Val, Dick and girls, 
Our hearts are filled with sadness over the loss of your daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother.  Jeanne was such such a wonderful teacher and touched the lives of so very many children during her tenure at LES.   It is so difficult to understand why Jeanne left her earthly home so early, but we can all find comfort in the many memories shared over the years.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.  We will be out of town during her services, but know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.  With deepest sympathy, Bruce and Jan Owens

I will miss Jeanne and her obvious devotion to her daughter, Jenny, and students.She was always trying to help people be their best. Jen-take care!
