She was also preceded in death by her parents, Mr. J.W. Herschel Chandler, and Mrs. Ila Vann Chandler, and her sister, Mrs. Florene C. Jordan. Mrs. Sutton graduated from Girls High School in Rome, and earned her B.S. degree from Tennessee Polytechnical Institute. She later earned her M.A. and Ed.S. degrees from George Peabody College in Nashville. Mrs. Sutton was a faithful pastor’s wife who served many churches with her husband in Tennessee and Georgia.
