Connie Jean Sutherland

Our beloved mother/wife/sister Connie Jean Sutherland was called home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the morning on March 10, 2025. Connie was born the eldest daughter to her father, Richard Sutherland Sr., and mother Louise (Buckles) Ell on December 10, 1959 in Fort Belknap, Montana.

Growing up Connie went to various schools throughout Montana including: Poplar, Rocky Boy and Columbia Falls. Throughout her life she had numerous occupations some include, working the H & S smoke shack, TJ’s Quick Stop and casino and her favorite was taking beading orders. She loved to bead for family and friends. She loved to watch her family dance at the local powwow celebrations., She met Brian who later became her husband on October 11, 2012. Connie had 4 beautiful children that helped fulfill her life. They gave her grandchildren who she loved, and great grandchildren as well. She was always proud of her children and grandchildren. Always asking about them by name, got like grandma Louise in the end calling all the girls wacicana and the boys hoshana. But we knew who she was asking about. Connie had a great sense of humor she could joke around with just about anyone in the room. She turned coworkers into her family.

Through her love of her Savior Jesus Christ, we know she is no longer in any pain. He restored her mobility and her sight. She walks with our Lord pain free without suffering, Amen.
