Obituary Mildred Catherine (Potts) Sutton was born in Colbert, Oklahoma, on May 8, 1920, and left her earthly life on March 24, 2010, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of John and Kate Potts, the first of the seven children. Mildred was educated in Stringtown schools and graduated with the class of 1937. The next November she married Loraine Elwood "Snooks" Sutton, and they were together more than forty years before his death in 1978. Mildred's life, like most lives, was a combination of triumph and tragedy. She lost many that she loved--some much too young. She traveled places she never imagined. She was a stay-at-home mother then later in life had a career with the Veterans' Administration. Through good times and difficult ones, the hallmark of her life was her deep and abiding trust in God. Her faith was quiet--she taught not so much by words, as by example. A treasured memory for her children was hearing, in the dark of night, when the house was quiet, their mother praying for them; she would call every family member by name (and hers is a large family). As long as she could she studied her Bible faithfully each day and read it through many times. In addition to her husband, Mildred was preceded in death by her parents, her children, James Benny and Shelia, her granddaughter, Linda Williams, son-in-law, Clarence Lambright, brother, John "Buddy" Potts, and sisters, Wanda Yost and Mary Prater. She is survived by her children, Lorraine Williams and husband Dick of Muskogee, Jeanie Lambright of Houston, Texas, Davey Sutton and wife Teresa of Atoka, and Lucia "Janie" Webb and husband Mark of Muskogee. She is also survived by her brother Bill Potts and wife Barbara of Stringtown, sisters, Buelah May Unger of San Diego, California, and Judy Embry and husband Bob of Fort Smith, Arkansas; granddaughters, Dana Williams, Anne Lambright, Cara Pauloski and Jennifer Webb, grandsons, John Williams, Allen Lambright, Jody Goodson, James Sutton, Benjamin Webb, Andrew Webb, twenty-one great-grandchildren, and a host of beloved nieces, nephews, and other family members. .
