Ora Belle Sutton

Ora Belle Sutton, 93, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 16th, 2026.

Born in Neptune, Tennessee, on February 25, 1933, Ora was the daughter of James Littleton Perry and Cora Belle Perry (Sanders). Known affectionately to everyone as “Red,” was a true force of nature. Ora was best known for her years of dedicated work as a hostess at the Key Truckstop, where she made lasting impressions on all of the patrons she had served. She will be remembered for having the sharpest, most delightfully fiery attitude you could ever encounter, which was balanced by a genuine kindness to all who knew her.

Ora was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles Ray Sutton (2012), and her children: Donna Kay Crouch (Morris), Sarah Jean Dulaney (Morris), Deborah Lynn Baxter (Morris), James William (JW) Morris, and Margaret Anne Morris.

Her wit, warmth, and resilient spirit live on through her surviving family. She is survived by her daughter, Stefanie Jean Osborne (Sutton); her sons, David Morris and William “Willie” Morris; and a proud legacy of numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will miss her dearly.

Visitation is Saturday, July 25th at 11:00 am-1:00 pm at West Harpeth Funeral Home. 6962 Charlotte Pike, Nashville TN 37209. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 pm-2:00 pm with burial to follow at Harpeth Hills Memory Gardens Funeral Home. 9090 TN-100, Nashville, TN 37221.
