Jimmy Russell Sutterfield, 76, of Greenbrier departed this life on Thursday, June 8th to be with his heavenly father. He passed peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after a year-long battle with cancer. He was born Nov. 15, 1941 in Martinville to the late John and Willie Sutterfield. He is preceded in death by his sister Deloris "Jo" Tew, brother Larry Sutterfield, and son Charles "Charlie" Sutterfield. Jim was a lifetime resident of Faulkner County, calling Greenbrier his home. He attended barber school and worked as a barber for 58 years. He was a devoted member of the Greenbrier Church of Christ where he served as a deacon, song leader, and service director. He served as volunteer fire chief for 32 years. Jim had a love for people and a contagious sense of humor. He was a school bus driver, bookkeeper for basketball games, and involved in the high school rodeo for many years. He had a love for family, pets, sports, gardening, outdoors, travel, and great food. He considered his greatest blessings to be his family, although his generous way of living blessed everyone he knew. Jim will be lovingly remembered by his best friend and wife of 57 years, Floyma (Mills), son Steve Sutterfield (Susie Wright), daughter Susan Hall (Josh), brother Rick Sutterfield (Peggy), grandchildren, Heather Sutterfield, Emily Hillis, Kyle Hillis (Charlsey), Kirby Hillis, and one great-grandchild Makyla Hillis.
