SUTTON, Audrey Gwen

SUTTON, Audrey “Gwen” Passed away April 19, 2019, age 94, at Hamilton Continuing Care, after returning from a nine day Juravinski hospitalization.

Devoted and loving mother of sons Bob (Hamilton, ON) and Ken (Lake Oswego, OR), cherished grandmother of David (OR), Michelle (OR) and Nicole (CA), caring great-grandmother to Maile, Ty, Clay and Reid. She was predeceased by her parents, Henry and Genevieve McFadden of Bracebridge, ON and her former husbands Wallace Sutton and Al Amaolo, of Hamilton, ON.

Gwen will be remembered for her warm and generous heart, always keeping in touch with her extended family “up north” and in the U.S.A., going the extra mile for her dear friends (especially Audrey Gaffney of Hamilton, ON) and her family. We honour Mom’s personal sacrifices for our sake while we were growing up and her support through Ballard P.S. PTA. Fondly remembered are the many bus rides when she took us to Wentworth Baptist Church every Sunday (from Cradle-roll). Smiling, we cherish memories of staying every summer at our cottage with Mom, and all the large extended family picnics with all our aunts and cousins in Bracebridge, ON.

Funeral arrangements through Dodsworth & Brown, Robinson Chapel, Hamilton, ON. Private cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Gwen’s life to be planned before interment at United Church Cemetery, Bracebridge, ON, to rest with her father and mother.

“Mothers hold their children’s hands for just a little while…and their hearts forever.” Always in our Hearts.
