Natalie Rose Sutton

“Tillie”rnrnHer life was lived in service to others and family was priority one.rnrnShe worked until she was 70 as a waitress. Her tips went into personalized banks for her grandchildren; they’d use it for spending money while with her at Long Beach Island. She didn’t particularly like the shore, but she used her “popsicle” money to rent a house that she used as a magnet for her family.rnrnAnother opportunity for her to gather her family together was her “mandatory” Sunday dinners. If you wanted Mom Mom’s roast beef, you’d better be there.rnrnShe played the lottery regularly, just so she could give away her winnings.rnrnShe loved the Lord and said the Rosary daily. A priest could find no more loyal a friend than Tillie.rnrnThe child of Polish immigrants, she passed on the traditions to her children by teaching them the language and singing Polish songs. Even in her later years she tapped her feet as she watched Polka dancing on TV.rnrnShe satisfied her sweet tooth with hard candy and vanilla ice cream.rnrnA young man named John walked into the candy store where a young Natalie was working. They’d soon marry and be blessed by three daughters; Dorothy Burbage (David), Elaine Lipka (Warren) and Jane Danser (Richard); grandchildren, Brenda Burbage, David Burbage Jr., Jennifer Orzechowski (Robert), Richard Danser, Nicholas Lipka, Natalie Lipka, and Matthew Danser; great-grandchildren, Tyler Burbage, David and Alexandria Woodward and Ella Orzechowski and soon to be born “Baby O” #2. She also is survived by her sister-in-law, Marie Sutton; and many loving nieces and nephews.rnrnShe was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Alexandra Tulodziecki and siblings, Karol, Jean Gasiorowski, Josephine Brown, and Estelle Severns.rnrnCome celebrate 89 family-centered years from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, and from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, at Sweeney Funeral Home. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday, at St. Peters Church.
