Tamatha Sutton

Tamatha Dawn Sutton, 42 died at home on Thursday June 23, 2011 surrounded by the family she loved. She is survived by her parents, Dave and Lyn Johnson and Dale and Gail Yarbrough, her brothers David Yarbrough and Christopher Johnson as well as six nieces and nephews, whom she loved beyond measure; Seth Johnson, Jonathon Yarbrough, Alley Johnson, Paige Montgomery, Shaune Yarbrough and Gabby Yarbrough. She loved family and that included her many aunts, uncles and cousins and their children as well.

Tammy graduated from Plano Senior High School in 1986 and immediately joined her parents in their business where she was surrounded by a family of friends and co-workers. As the receptionist, she had the opportunity to enthusiastically welcome customers and lovingly corral wayward sales people.

She will be remembered and admired by many who knew her well for her generous spirit, her strength and indomitable desire to live. During her seven year battle with cancer she neither complained about the terrible side effects nor asked for sympathy. She instead never forgot a birthday, called friends when they were sick and helped anyone in need. Her heart was full of love, faith and caring for others. Her faith was nurtured for 25 years at St. Andrew United Methodist Church and she passed into the Lord's open arms with loving obedience and faithfulness.

She wanted to be remembered as an AWESOME daughter, sister and aunt and she will be.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Tammy's life on Friday, July 1, 2011 at 2:00 PM in the Wesley Hall at St. Andrews United Methodist Church (East side of the church campus), 5801 Plano Parkway Plano, TX. 75093

Death Is Nothing but a Moment's Rest

Death is nothing but a moment's rest

Until the Second Coming of the Lord

When He shall gather to Him of the best

To take them to the place of their reward.

I've felt the power of Jesus in my soul

Shining like a golden sun within,

Melting my hard heart to make me whole,

Burning out the remnants of my sin.

I've felt Him work within me, so I know

The glory that will come when I awake.

I'll sleep just like a child who'll homeward go,

And in my dreams of love great pleasure take.

So do not mourn my death, and do not grieve.

The Lord will come for me: This I believe
