Our heartfelt sympathy is with
the Suttle Family. Marie was a very dear person. We have certainly missed
her and Becky! You are in our hearts and prayers. Love,
October 12, 2009
My sister-in-law just emailed
me of Marie's death. I was in Newport New this summer and asked about her.
I have so many wonderful memories of Marie and our teaching together the first three years Jefferson Street School was open. That third year 5 of us took off to Denver, CO with Marie at the wheel. We went out to a conference. What a week we had seeing Co. I went back there to teach the next year. And we had so many great nights folk dancing with Mrs. Shubert teaching us. I could go on. Marie was such a wonderful lady. She touched the lives so many children in such a positive way. My sympathy goes to all the family. October 12, 2009 Ms. Suttle taught me in the
third grade 60 years ago but I still remember her as my favorite teacher of
all. October 12, 2009
Our deepest sympathy is with
you all during this time. “Aunt Marie” is in a much better place now doing
all of the things she loved best. We hope that you get through the next
few days and will keep you in our prayers.

Miss Suttle was my absolute
favorite teacher! She taught me 3rd grade over 60 years ago and continued
to send me Christmas cards and short notes even after I married and had
children of my own. She was a wonderful person.
October 12, 2009
Ms. Suttle was my third grade
school teacher at Thomas Jefferson School in Newport News, VA. She was
always so cheerful and bright and all of my memories are fond of this
devoted teacher.
October 12, 2009
I'm so sorry to read about Miss
Suttle's passing. She taught me 3rd grade at Thomas Jefferson, but more
than anything she taught ME and pioneered individualized instruction. My
poor penmanship even was a concern of hers after I became a teacher. She
introduced me to the arts by involving me in several community opera
productions. I tried to model that same commitment to all the children I
supervised over the pat 40 years. Her life will go on in those she taught
and helped become better because we were taught by the best.
October 13, 2009
Ms. Suttle was my third grade
teacher at Thomas Jefferson 60 years ago and she was my absolute favorite
teacher. She was graceful and generous beyond compare and her beautiful
smile and lovely manner made a real impression on me and stayed with me
all my life.
My sincere sympathy to the family; I know she will be missed by many. Nancy (Mitchell) Wynne Middletown, MD October 13, 2009
What a great loss it is to hear
of Miss Suttle's death. I was in Ann Powell's second grade class at Thomas
Jefferson Elementary where we regularly trooped across the hall to hear
Miss Suttle read a variety of stories to us with her special talent. She
was an inspiration to me. Sincere condolences to the family.

Our deepest condolences are extended to Miss Suttle's family, friends, and former students at this time.

From Norm Covert ('61) of MD - 10/13/09
- "Marie Suttle":
Webdoll,
What a shock it was to
hear from
Sepi Ozora (A.K.A.
Dimples) Dinwiddie Prichard ('58 N.C.) about the untimely death
of Miss Marie Suttle. There are and were few teachers like her and it is a
personal loss.
In reading the Daily Press Memorial Book inscriptions included on this site, how wonderful it was to see that Ann (Powell) Jennings wrote of her close association with Miss Marie during their three years at the new Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. Consider (1) what a privilege it was to be part of Miss Powell's second grade teacher at TJ Elementary; and (2) to have the opportunity to gather in Miss Marie's classroom to hear her read books to us, including portions of "Tales of the Old Plantation" by Joel Chandler Harris. What an inspiration Miss Marie was to me!
I have read to my children since their birth and now with the grandchildren, even producing cassette tape recordings, now converted to CDs, for them of their favorite books (Can you find Gold Bug?).
Today it was agreed that Grandad was the only one available to attend the seminar at our grandson's elementary school in which they show parents how to share books with the children. It's a course I should be able to handle, thanks to Miss Marie Suttle.

Thank
you so much, Norm. That was beautifully stated. Please accept our
sincerest sympathies on the loss of your teacher.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

O Lord of Life, Where'er They Be
- Lyrics by
Frederick L. Hosmer, 1888;
Music by
Melchior Vulpius (circa
1560-1615)
O Lord of life, where’er they be,
Safe in Thine own eternity,
Our dead are living unto Thee:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
All souls are Thine, and here or there
They rest within Thy sheltering care;
One providence alike they share:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thy Word is true, Thy ways are just;
Above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
Shall rise our psalm of grateful trust:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O happy they in God who rest,
No more by fear and doubt oppressed,
Living or dying, they are blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
