Leave a tribute for Bernice Quary Tuttle.
I only met Bernice once for a few days, but knew of her for 40 years through her daughter Sandra. We communicated by cards at Christmas and Birthday. She was such a lovely lady. Very kind and welcoming to me. Such a trooper. I was sorry to hear of her passing but now she will be with the Lord.
She was my former reading teacher she was best teacher and kind of encouraged me during High School And sure miss her I will see her one day and my sympathy to the family and praying for the family
Bernice will be missed by many, she was a beautiful lady inside and out. I could not have asked for a better mother-in-law and grandmother (MawMaw) for our children, Augustus and Hannah Tuttle. We will always cherish the memories through out the years we had with Bernice. May she rest in peace and we will all see her again some day. Much love, Ginger Tuttle
