LILLIAN KAY SUTTON GOLDMAN
1943­ - 2015

Lillian Kay Sutton Goldman passed away at the age of 72 on September 1, 2015 in SaltLake City as a result of brain cancer.

Born March 12, 1943 in Salt Lake City to William Henry Sutton, Jr. and Lillian LaVerda Thomson. Kay graduated from the University of Utah, was a member of the Alpine Search and Rescue team, and taught third grade at Uintah Elementary in the Salt Lake City school district. She had a life­long love of photography, occasionally joking that her family wouldn't recognize her without a camera in front of her face. She was a dedicated member of Daughters of Utah Pioneers. Before retiring to be a full­time grandma, she worked at a local Hallmark store, where she made friends of coworkers and customers alike. Kay was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter­day Saints (LDS), and spent many years—in two different wards—serving as a ward librarian. Her faith showed in the way she lived her life and strengthened her in her final battle with cancer, as she told her children she was “never for a moment afraid.”

Kay is survived by the jewels of her life; her children: Jacob (Erin) Goldman, Michael (Emily) Goldman, and Katie (Jered) Buhler; and 5 grandchildren: Daniel, Ellie, Samuel, Lillian, and Henry; as well as her former husband, Alvin Goldman, who remained a friend to the end. She is also survived by her “lap dog,” Maggie and 2 grand­dogs.

Special thanks to the staff at Paramount Health and Rehabilitation for the caring and compassionate care that they gave to Kay.
