Obituary of Ella Sutton

Ella Sutton was born to Lois Lumpkin on March 10, 1947 in Pike County Al and raised by her grandmother Dora Lumpkin. Ella accepted Christ at an early age. Moving to Monticello in her early 20’s, she joined First Baptist Church where she was a faithful member, and active in leadership serving as President of the Joint Ushers Ministry, past Vice President, and a member of the Usher’s and Nurses of Central Hudson Baptist Auxiliary. Acknowledged for her servitude, she lived her life doing GOD's work and helping all that she could. Her helping hand and kindness spilled over into her professional life working as a CNA at The Sullivan County Adult Care Center, in Liberty NY for 20 yrs. A job which she loved dearly and devoted herself to, until her last days. She was called from life into her heavenly home on April 24, 2020. Ella was predeceased by her daughter Georgia D.
