Evelyn L. Sutton

Born and raised in New Smyrna Beach, Mrs. Sutton was a lifelong resident of this area. Evelyn was a retired restaurant manager and was very active in her community. She started a bereavement group called “Got to Believe” at Glencoe Baptist Church; was a member of the Old-Timers’ Club; and she and her husband, H.Q., were founding members of the Sandspur Riding Club.
