Phillips, Angela

Angela Sutter Phillips

Angela Sutter Phillips, 42, passed away unexpectedly, Monday, May 30, 2011. She was born October 6, 1968 in Wake County. Angela was the daughter of Robert and Sylvia Bradley Sutter of Spring Hope. She was an extraordinary mother, daughter, sister and wife. She loved her family, and was a gifted musician. She sang beautifully and also played the flute and piano. Angela proudly sang with Mount Olive College Singers. She was a charter member of Rock Creek Baptist Church.

She leaves to cherish her memory, in addition to her parents, her loving husband of sixteen years, Mike Phillips, two sons, Ryan Christopher Phillips and Bradley Watson Phillips, both of the home, one daughter, Sarah Kathryn Phillips of the home, one brother, Christopher Bradley Sutter and wife Frankie of Clinton, special cousins, Lorra Baylis and Jan Milani; and numerous aunts and uncles, whom she loved dearly.

Memorial Service will be Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 7:00PM in the Chapel of Cornerstone Funeral Home with the Rev. Dr. Blake Dempsey officiating. Visitation will follow after the service. Live plants will be accepted or memorials may be made to the American Diabetes Association at 2418 Blue Ridge Rd. Suite 206, Raleigh, NC 27607 or the charity of one’s choice.

My heart hurts for all of you and for our church family as well. Angela was truly a beautiful person - inside and out. She was cheerful and always brightened the room, lifting the spirits of those around her. Listening to her sing always brought a tear or a smile - or sometimes both - because she was able to let the message shine through. She will be missed.

The loss of Angela is one that is felt by so many. Her warm smile, caring heart and contagious laughter will be missed by the many people in whose lives she touched. These loving attributes will be carried on through her beautiful children, Ryan, Bradley and Sarah as they already possess so many wonderful things their mother has taught them.
Our hearts ache for you during this difficult time. May you find the strength to always remember and celebrate the life of Angela, her love for God and her passion for helping others.
May God grat you peace and healing.

Our hearts are heavy as we think about such a special person taken from all of us. But to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. We feel that Angela is
now singing with the Heavenly Choir. We are here for you and know that God will provide.

Dear Mike & Bradley,
Words cannot express the shock I felt when Melanie called me yesterday to tell me of Angela's passing. Keith and I are at the beach so we will not be able to attend the service.
Please know that we immediately prayed for comfort and peace for your family. Having lost our son so suddenly 7 years ago, we know exactly the void you are experiencing.
We will try to get in touch with you when we return to town. Join us one Monday night for Cowboy Church at the old North Nashville Ruritan Club. I know that Bradley would love it.
In His love,

Shock is the only way I can express my feelings when I was informed of Angela,s graduation from this life to heaven. Barbara and I loved Angela and the entire Sutter family. The little girl that sat in church with us and drew on the bullitins, of which I still keep in my Bible. Our prayers are with the entire family. Sorry we cannot be at the service, my vision for night driving is to poor. With deepest sympaty, we send our condolences. Angela was always a favorite. With much love, Barbara & James

I'm so lucky that I was able to know such a kind & caring person. She was as genuine as anyone I've ever known and her greatest loves were her children. Praying for the Phillips & Sutters and hoping that you have some peace in knowing that she is now singing for a King.

Dear Robert, Sylvia and Chris: I don't know if you will remember me, but my name is Jeffrey Wells. I auditioned with "Angie" on the same day for the Music Scholarship for Louisburg. Angie was such a beautiful singer. Bob, I had the pleasure of sharing the Stage with you in "Amahl and the Night Visitors". I had the pleasure of becoming one of her best friends during those years and actually visited you and had a wonderful dinner at your house. Angie, always used the expression "POOKIE". I will never forget it or her. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I know, however, there's a singing "ANGEL" smiling down on each of you. Thank you for bringing such an amazing person into my life.
Sincerely, Jeff Wells

Sylvia, Bob and Family, Sylvia it has been many years since you and knew each other when you and Peggy had your staffing service....I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful daughter, Angela. I just wanted you to know I do understand what you are going through; I have walked this tragic road for 12 years. My son Donnie died of complication of the onset of diabetes when he was 30. He also would be 42 now. I truly hurt for all of you because I know what another mother is going through and it breaks my heart for you. Sincerely, Judy H. Park

I shared her love of the flute but don't think I could have ever been compared to her talent. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

MyAnge was the most gentle and caring woman I have ever known. I have spent the week reliving all of our crazy college moments and came to realize that much of the woman I grew to be is because of her influence on my life. I am heartbroken over her passing, but feel so blessed to have had her in my life. I love you MyAnge! Your Cynge

As I stood to hear the beautiful memorial service tonight it brought back a lot of memories when Angela stood beside me many times at practice and while we performed the beautiful handbells. She was a special person and I am sure she is ringing them as I write this.

Bradley, Sarah and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all. It is so hard to believe that Angela is no longer with us. I have never met another person that was as kind and thoughtful as she. Angela always had a smile on her face and so do both of you. You are the image of your mother and she loves you more than anything. I pray that you and your dad and Ryan will all find comfort and peace in knowing that she is with our Lord leading the choir of Angels.
