Weona A. Sutton
Weona (Cuz) Armstrong
Sutton, 94, of Northbrook,
Jan. 21.
She was married to Henry
(Ren) C. Sutton of Honolulu
in February 1944 who
she had met in New York
City at a dance for Naval
officers. Daughter Bonnie
was born in February 1945.
Sutton and daughter sailed
across the Pacific to Honolulu
in a darkened Navy
ship while the war in the
Pacific was on-going.
They lived in Honolulu
for three years, then moved
back to the mainland, settling
in Glenview. Two
more daughters, Randy
and Stephanie, were born
in 1948 and 1950. Cuz
pursued a life-long love of
dance, becoming a student
of Stone and Cameron, Gus
Giordano and Florence
Voss. After years of study,
she segued into teaching
ballet for Ms. Voss at her
Winnetka School of Ballet.
After Ms. Voss’s retirement,
Sutton owned and
managed the school for 20
plus years. Cuz and Voss
held Master Classes taught
by prominent dancer such
as Maria Tallchief, Edward
Villella, Patricia McBride.
Sutton was a passionate
supporter of all aspects of
ballet and she hosted events
in support of the New York
City Ballet, the Miami City
Ballet, Ballet Chicago, the
Joffrey Ballet attended
by George Balanchine,
Mikhail Baryshnikov, and
Eduard Villella. Cuz was
an adventurous and active
traveler. She and Ren biked
through Europe until Ren’s
death in 1982.
She continued with various
hiking, kayaking and
biking trips until well into
her 80s. She spent a month
in the jungles of Borneo
working with orphaned
orangutans. She loved the
rustic home on the Big
Island of Hawaii that she
and Ren (a native of Hawaii),
created. There she
hoped to teach her family
— children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren —
about a simpler life with no
TV or iPhones, to appreciate
nature, to swim with the
honu, to watch the waves
crash against the lava reef,
to sit still and contemplate
the setting sun.
She is survived by her
loving daughters, Bonnie
Serra (Luigi), Randy
Sargeant (Steven), Stephanie
Sutton (Patrick Flanagan),
her loving grandchildren
Alessandro Serra
(Sue), Luca Serra (Wendy),
Olivia Tincani(Giacomo),
Gwendolyn Dearbor and
her six great grandchildren,
Isabella, Gabriella, Daniela,
Lexi, Vincent, Vasco.
Her strength and resilience
remains an example
to her family.
Private memorial service
at a date to be determined.
The family will be grateful
for donations given in
her memory given to The
Joffrey Balllet. www.joffrey.org.
