Jean T. Stanton died peacefully in her sleep at her residence of almost 4
years, Alabama Oaks Assisted Living, in Winter Park, FL, one week short of
her 96 birthday. Progressing dementia and a fall preceded her move from
her home to Alabama Oaks where the staff was attentive and loving, with
several caring for her needs from her first day there until her last. Her
nurse practitioner Kelly Higgins and AdventHealth hospice Coral team
made her final days better for her and her family than thought possible.

Jean Kathryn Tuthill was born March 26, 1930, at (the then) Orange
Memorial Hospital to Benjamin P. & Edelweiss D. Tuthill and younger
sister to B. (Palmer) Tuthill, Jr. She attended Orlando High School and
Rollins College, where she was a member of the Tarpons synchronized
swimming & diving club. From her youth, her parents originally ran a
meat market in Orlando which was expanded into a grocery store plus
bakery located on Orange Avenue & Alexander Place; they built their own
store in the early 1950s at 1812 N. Mills St.

She met her future husband, Thomas H. Stanton, at the Arkansas
Christadelphian Bible School in Martinville, AR, and they were married in
September, 1950, in Orlando, FL, and lived in North Little Rock, AR. In
1952, they moved back to Orlando where Tom helped run Tuthill's with his
father-in-law and Jean helped in any department of the store where
needed. Tuthill's closed in 1972.

Jean & Tom (deceased 4/2008) were faithful members of the Orlando
Christadelphian Ecclesia and raised their two children, Sandra (Sid)
Strickland and Daniel (Rebecca) Stanton in the Hope of Israel--the
promises made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David which were ratified
through the life, death and resurrection of the son of God, Jesus Christ.
Jean believed that her covenant with Yahweh through baptism assured
her resurrection from the dead, and, at death, she would sleep in Christ
until his call to a righteous judgement upon his return to earth. She
believed the reward for the faithful baptized is immortality to reign with
and give glory to Yahweh's son and heir during his millennial reign. Jean
was an exceptional organist and pianist, using her talents for the benefit

of her Ecclesia and the pleasure of her family. Once she was unable to
travel, she participated virtually from Alabama Oaks on Sundays & for
Wednesday night Bible classes every week until her last.

Jean (& Tom) had 5 grandchildren, Aaron (Paula) Strickland, Lucas Stanton,
Katie (Joel) Diliberto, Whitney (Sam) Tucker, and Robyn (Grant) Northey,
who were all blessed to grow up in the tender love of their grandparents.
She (& Tom) had 8 great grandchildren who were all old enough to return
to Grammy Jean the love she had for them, Emily Strickland, Amos
Diliberto, Ryan Strickland, Della Diliberto, Tate Diliberto, Benny Diliberto,
Gideon Tucker and Indiana Tucker.

Arrangements are through the DeGusipe Funeral Home in Maitland, FL,
with burial at Highland Memory Gardens, Apopka, FL. A private, graveside
service will take place on Tuesday, March 20.
