LuAnn Sutton

LuAnn Sutton passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 29th, 2024 surrounded by her family. Born September 4th, 1953 in Delaware County, Indiana to Lynn A. Turner and Janice (Hall) Turner, LuAnn was a resident of New Castle, IN and a beloved sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. 

LuAnn graduated from Walter P. Chrysler Memorial High School in 1971 where she was a member of the 1st high school volleyball team at New Castle. She was a former member of the 1st Methodist Church and worked several years at Worl’s Jewelry Store until its closing.   She later worked for a number of years as a teacher’s aide at Eastwood Elementary school before moving to New Castle Middle School, where she served as an aide to special education students until her retirement. Her patience and kindness facilitated a wonderful learning environment for her students, and she loved sharing in their accomplishments, no matter how small.   

For 18 years she was a volunteer involved with the New Castle Wrestling Club, and loved supporting her sons and other community wrestlers through local tournaments, as well as traveling with the club to wrestling meets across the state and country.   

LuAnn was an avid reader, enjoyed cooking for her family, doing crossword puzzles, cultivating flowers in her yard, feeding the hummingbirds, and keeping up with the many accomplishments of her beloved grandchildren. She loved being outdoors and especially liked being anywhere near the water.  

 LuAnn is preceded in death by her husband of 49 years, Larry A. Sutton, along with her father, Lynn. She is survived by her mother Jan Turner, her brother David Turner (wife Sheri) of Largo, FL and her 2 sons; Lee Sutton (wife Anmarie with daughter Lana and son Carter) of Parker, Colorado, and Dan Sutton of Kansas City, Missouri. She will be dearly missed.
