Catherine Sutter, a 58-year-old Caucasian woman from Burton, Ohio, tragically lost her life on March 24, 2016, in Chagrin Falls, OH. She was a dedicated housekeeper at Hamlet Village Retirement Community, where she worked alongside her colleague, Terri Treadway, who was also 58 years old. Both women were making their rounds when they were fatally shot by Frank Staton, a 56-year-old chef at the facility.
Staton, who lived with Treadway, admitted to the killings and was taken into custody
after turning the gun on himself. He was later sentenced to 66 years to life in prison for his crimes. The motive behind the shooting was not publicly disclosed by investigators, but it was revealed that Staton had a concealed carry permit and a history of domestic issues with Treadway.
The tragic incident deeply affected the close-knit community at Hamlet Village, where both Sutter and Treadway were beloved employees. Grief counselors were brought in to support the staff and residents who were distraught over the senseless loss. The families of the victims, as well as the entire community, continue to mourn the loss of these two kind-hearted women.
Catherine Sutter's legacy lives on through her family, friends, and the countless lives she touched with her compassion and kindness. Her memory is honored by those who knew and loved her, and her contributions to her community are remembered with great respect and admiration.
