In Loving Memory of

Kathleen “Kathy” Rose Sutphin

March 19, 1952 – August 3, 2024

Kathleen "Kathy" Rose Sutphin, aged 72, of Rome, Georgia, departed this world on Saturday, August 3, 2024. Born on March 19, 1952, in Bridgeton, New Jersey, Kathy was the cherished daughter of the late Carcle Sutphin and Elnora Ida Fuerneisen Welsh.

Kathy is survived by her beloved son, Thomas Lockard, and her treasured grandchild, Halie Holowell. Her loving spirit is also remembered by her sisters, Diane Bogart, Rose Wolf (Tiny), and Doris Jelleyman (Pebbles) who were pillars of support throughout her life. She will also be missed by several nieces, nephews and many cousins from all over US.

In addition to her parents, Kathy was predeceased by her brother Carcle Sutphin, Jr.

Kathy’s passions were as diverse as they were heartfelt. She found immense joy in singing gospel music, her voice often uplifting those around her. Her adventurous spirit took her across the West Coast, where she delighted in exploring new places. Her loyal companion, a dog named Yuma, held a special place in her heart, as did her admiration for majestic Clydesdale horses. Kathy was also an avid visitor of flea markets, where she enjoyed the thrill of discovering hidden treasures.

Professionally, during her life in Michigan, she worked at Jim Robbins auto industry with the proud title of Quality Control Manager. When Kathy moved to Georgia, she dedicated twelve years to serving as a Certified Nurse’s Assistant, where her compassionate nature shone through in her care for others.

A service to honor Kathy’s life will be held on Monday, August 12, 2024, at Coosa Valley Praise & Worship Center located at 9 General Ave. Rome, GA. The visitation will begin at 1:00 PM, followed by the funeral service at 2:00 PM. Serving as pallbearers to escort Kathy to her final resting place are Will Lewis, Bron Langston, Rick Wolf, Donald Ratliff, Tom Lockard, Loren Bogart and Eric Kelly. Pastor Steve Kelly will officiate the services, offering words of comfort and reflection on Kathy’s impactful life.

Kathy's legacy of love, kindness, and adventure will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved her.
