Carol Ann Sutfin went home to be with the Lord, July 29, 2017.  Carol who was a life long resident of St. Johns, Michigan passed away peacefully after a courageous eighteen month battle with metastatic breast cancer at Mother Teresa's Hospice House in Lansing, Michigan with her loving twin sister and family at her side.

Her journey in retirement took her to Fisherman's Cove in Tavares, Florida where she embraced many new passions.  She lived with and cared for her mother and they loved to travel.  She visited Hawaii and cruised to multiple Caribbean destinations. Carol loved to socialize and golf.  She was the organizer and manager of Fisherman's Cove golf club.  She was her park communities bingo caller and avid eucher club organizer for many years.  She loved shuffleboard and embraced fun living as a way of retirement life.  Carol was a Nascar fan of the first order, and never turned down a fun loving wager on her weekly driver picks.  She loved watching the Tigers play baseball, and MSU football.
