“These individuals have been at the heart of our organization for decades,” said Tony Gorrell, CEO of Sutton Bank. “Their loyalty, institutional knowledge, and commitment to serving our customers have played a role in Sutton Bank’s strength and stability.”  

As these valued employees close this chapter in their professional lives, their impact continues to resonate throughout the bank. Their knowledge, leadership, and example have helped guide and inspire their colleagues, contributing to a workplace culture built on continuity and care.

The retirements of Rhonda, Patty, Lisa, and Laura are both a celebration and a reminder of the strength of Sutton Bank’s people. While their daily presence will be missed, the values they instilled and the foundation they helped build will continue to guide the Bank forward.
