Vera L. Sutter, 88, of Remington, passed away at 12:46 a.m. Friday, October 15, 2021 at St. Elizabeth Franciscan East of Lafayette.
She was born October 8, 1933 in Windsor, Colorado to the late David J. and Eva K. (Stoll) Legler. Vera was a graduate of Remington High School.
Her marriage of 69 years was to Marvin K. “Little Pood” Sutter on February 9, 1952 in Remington; he survives.
Vera was a longtime member of the Remington First Christian Church. Anyone who knew Vera understood how competitive she was, her friends in the golf league at the Hazelden Country Club in Brook did as well. Vera also enjoyed participating in the Remington bowling league.
Mrs. Sutter worked for Northway Products of Rensselaer for many years. Vera also worked for Remington Freight Lines as a bookkeeper, as a custodian at the Remington Elementary and as a waitress for her parents at the Pure Oil Truck Stop in Remington.
Vera enjoyed playing Bunko, Bridge, Euchre and Pinocle. She was always on the go and could often be found at the neighbor’s house having a cup of coffee. Family vacations involved camping trips to Shakamak State Park, Little Creek, Arrowhead Camp Ground in Monticello and France Park in Logansport. Vera enjoyed family weekends at the lake tubing and teaching her children how to waterski. When Vera’s parents later moved to Wisconsin, family vacations followed. Vera and Little Pood were proud members of the Senior Citizens “Prom Court” as part of Rensselaer Senior Night.

Wayne and Floyd (Martha) Legler of Remington.
