Mrs. Sutherland was born on January 21, 1936 in Brookhaven, Mississippi to the late Jesse Lee Leggett and the late Edith Elizabeth West. She and her family moved to Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where she grew up and graduated high school. She then graduated from Copiah-Lincoln Junior College in Brookhaven, Mississippi. She later married the late Bill Sutherland of Canton Mississippi and they moved to Savannah with IBM.

She had three children, Tara (Brian), Alison, and John. She had four grandchildren, Harris, Gable, Brendan and Haley with also seven great grandchildren. She adored every one of them. Mrs. Sutherland attended Southside Baptist Church, where she faithfully served singing in past choirs, taught Sunday School, and was at one time president of the church’s WMU organization. She loved the Lord with all her heart and we have assurance that she is in the arms of her Savior. Thank you Jesus!
