Doris Cummings Sutton of Sterlington, LA, age 86, born September 14, 1930, went to be with the Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ on November 11, 2016. She is now reunited with her parents, Minnie and Dewey Cummings, who instilled in Doris her love of God, family, and the importance of hard work.

Also surviving to treasure their aunt’s precious memory are her loving nieces and nephews, including special niece, Karen Mayfield.
