Sheryl Suiter

Sheryl K. Suiter, daughter of Freda and Wayne Scott, lived a full and giving life rooted in
family, hard work, and quiet service to others.

She is survived by her three sons: Sandy Suiter of Concordia, Kansas; Tyler Suiter of
Manhattan, Kansas; and Preston Suiter of Randall, Kansas. She is also survived by her
brothers, Michael Fulton of Celina, Texas; James Fulton of Deerfield, Kansas; and Jeff
Scott of Pasco, Washington; and by her sister, Jana Strasser of Garden City, Kansas.

Sheryl lived and raised her family in Concordia for more than two decades. She and her
family were active members of Concordia Wesleyan Church, where she faithfully
volunteered to drive the church bus every Sunday and Wednesday, ensuring everyone
who needed a ride could get to church.

She loved summertime. When she wasn’t gardening or riding motorcycles, you could
find her tending to her cats or adding new fish to her aquarium. She was a proud
member of the Kansas Christian Motorcyclists Association. In the winter she turned to
quieter pursuits, woodworking or sewing Christmas tree ornaments for the people she
loved.

Sheryl wore many hats throughout her working life. She spent long hours working
Kansas fields and hauling semi-truck loads of milk destined for school lunchrooms. She
worked for Concordia High School on and off for twenty-four years, where students
knew her both as the lunch lady and the bus driver—often on the same day. After her
years at CHS she became a machinist for Sunflower Manufacturing in Beloit, Kansas.

She raised three respectable and intelligent sons, two of whom went on to serve as
Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans. Sheryl loved all of her grandchildren. Her favorite
times with them were spent sharing her love of cooking and teaching them how to drive
Grandma’s car.

Her favorite quote captured the spirit with which she lived:

“Consider this, no matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up.”

The Family will celebrate Sheryl’s life at the Concordia Wesleyan Church from 10 AM until 1 PM on Saturday, September 19, 2026.
