Dorothy Sutton Obituary

In 1996, Jimmy and Dorothy had a house built for their family, the same home that Dorothy was currently living in at the time of her passing. After moving to Bartlesville, Dorothy was employed with Silver Lake Care Center, where she worked as a housekeeper supervisor for 12 years. After leaving that position, Dorothy worked in a few other jobs positions, before retiring.

As she grew older, she enjoyed putting together puzzles. Dorothy’s greatest enjoyment was spending time with her grandchildren and family.
