Marilyn Josephine Matton was born in Grand Forks, ND, to Henry and Mophie M. (Zahnow) Matton on January 30, 1949. Marilyn attended school in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and graduated from Central High School. Following her graduation, she met Arthur Sutehall, and the two eventually married. Together, they were blessed with two children, Mike and Jason. The couple later divorced.

Marilyn worked for many years at Simplot, where she primarily served as a Lab Technician. She was a dedicated employee and took pride in her work.

In her free time, Marilyn enjoyed the simple pleasures of home and family. She loved watching old Western movies and television programs, with Gunsmoke being a particular favorite. She also enjoyed listening to music and had a wide assortment of cassettes that she loved playing at home.

Marilyn was also known for being the luckiest gambler in Grand Forks! She enjoyed the excitement and fun of gambling and seemed to have a special knack for coming out ahead. She especially enjoyed going out to eat with her son Jason, with trips to The Kegs and The Red Pepper being among her favorites.

Above all, Marilyn cherished spending time at home with her family. Those everyday moments, shared laughter, favorite shows, music, and meals out with those she loved were the things that made life special to her.

She is survived by her sons, Mike Sutehall of Eyota, MN and Jason Sutehall of Grand Forks, ND; two grandchildren, Lora and Mac.

She was preceded in death by her parents.
