Janet Tuthill Obituary
Mrs. Janet Bueno Tuthill, 87, of Port St. Joe, passed away Monday, April 2, 2012 at a local hospital.
Janet Bueno Tuthill, professionally known as Delora Bueno, was born in Iowa. Her family moved to Brazil when Delora was young, and she was raised there until she was 19. In 1944, she enrolled in the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York City where she earned a degree in Voice and Piano. In 1950, she married Samuel Taylor Tuthill, and had two daughters, Sylvia and Sandra. From then on, she had a prominent career as a stage singer, musical entertainer, and teacher, both in the United States and Brazil. Delora paved numerous different ventures such as being the musical star for the Cherry Blossom Festival in 1951 in Washington, D.C., sharing the stage with Paul Whiteman, and the Chiquita Banana spokesperson in New York City. In 2006, she moved back to the United States and continued to entertain at the Beacon Hill Retirement Center. She will always be remembered for her love for music, and her willingness to give pleasure to others through her musical talent.
Mrs. Tuthill is survived by her two daughters: Sylvia B. Tuthill-Aguirre and husband David of Port St. Joe and Sandra B. Tuthill Stanicia and husband Sergio of Sao Paulo, Brazil; three grandchildren: Alessandra Muniz, Gustavo Muniz, and Sergio Stanicia; three great-grandchildren: Daphne Baptista, Tallis Assi, and Gracie Muniz; and step-grandson, Michael Aguirre.
Memorial service will be at a later date.
