Salt Lake Tribune, The (UT) | 16 January 2005
John Norwood Sutton was born March 23, 1916 the son of Harvey and Ellen Oleson Sutton at Lisbon, North Dakota. He grew up and attended schools in Lisbon, graduating from the Lisbon High School in 1934. Sut as he was known by many, started his career in watch repair in 1935 in Lisbon. He later moved to Lewistown, Montana where he worked as a watch repairman. Sut enlisted in the US Marine Corp, he served in the Pacific Theater and achieved the rank of Platoon Sgt. He was honorably discharged in 1946. Sut returned to Lewistown where he met his future wife, Vera Stevenson. They were united in marriage June 10, 1950 near Merrill, Wisconsin at a small Bible Camp. In 1956 Sut and Vera with two small children moved to Evanston, Wyoming where they purchased the Jewelry Store. Together they operated it and raised their family for the next forty plus years. Sut was a past president of the Inner Mountain Jewelers Association, a member of the American Gem Society, a life member of the Evanston V.F.W. and the Elks Club. Sut was an avid skier and golfer of many years. Sut really enjoyed skiing after the age of 80 since most of the ski resorts would give a free lift pass to anybody over this age. He always stated that now I am finely getting some of my money back. Even after his by pass surgery his plan was to return to the slopes. His special love was always for his wife, Vera, who passed away in 1990; his children; and his two granchildren. Survivors include a daughter, Pamela Sutton of Salt Lake City, UT; a son, Keith Sutton of Evanston, WY; two grandchildren, Brittany and Chase Sutton; also many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at the Crandall Funeral Home in Evanston, WY Tuesday at 2 p.m. Burial with military honors will be in the Evanston Cemetery. Crandall Funeral Home of Evanston, WY and the Stevenson's Funeral Home of Baker, MT is in charge of the arrangements. Friends may call Monday from 6-8 p.m. and Tuesday one hour prior to the service.
