MARGARET TUTTLE Obituary
GREENSBORO — Mrs. Margaret "Meg" Harper Tuttle, 46, of Greensboro, NC, passed away in the evening on Monday, July 16 at Beacon Place of Greensboro after a five-year long battle with breast cancer.
Meg was born to Jim Harper and Josie Morris Harper on June 13, 1966, in Norfolk, Virginia. She was educated in public schools there and in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and in Palo Alto, California. She was a 1984 graduate of Freedom High School in Morganton, North Carolina, and a 1988 graduate of the University of North Carolina with a degree in communications. She was employed in banking and plumbing supply in Winston Salem before commencing work with the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce. She was later the Vice President of Operations with a mail-order cookie company.
After the onset of illness she worked extensively with the Cone Health Cancer Center in Greensboro, with the drama program at Page High School, and with her church - Morehead United Methodist. She was loved by all who knew her and was admired for her strength, grace, and faith.
Meg is preceded in death by her grandparents James and Margaret Harper, her grandparents Malcolm and Margaret Morris, and her nephew Daniel Tuttle.
She is survived by her husband Lawrence Joseph Tuttle, daughter Margaret Kathleen Tuttle, son Clay Harper Tuttle; her parents, Josie Harper of New London and Jim and Ginger Harper of Southport; brother James Harper and Holly Harper of Nashville, Tennessee; parents-in-law L.A. and Dot Tuttle of Winston Salem; and an abundance of loving and attentive aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A memorial service celebrating Meg's life will be held at Morehead United Methodist Church in Greensboro at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 21. Family will receive guests before the memorial service in the church Fellowship Hall at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be given to the Cone Health Cancer Center at 501 North Elam Street, Greensboro, North Carolina 27403; or to a charity of choice.

It doesn't seem like a year has passed since our sweet Meg left us. She was the light of our church family, filled with unbelievable stregth and courage. Thanks to the family for the beautiful fountain built at the church. Every time we walk into the sanctuary we see the gentle waterfall and remember Meg. She was so special. You will never be forgotten.

Meg was such a classy, funny, witty, cool lady. I worked with her several years ago and enjoyed being around her everyday. I will always remember her at lunch, she "set" her table when she ate, like a picnic! so sweet and a reminder that even the special small touches add happiness to a common task.
I am so very sorry for your families loss.

Josie, Never met your daughter but just knowing her Mom tells me she was a special lady. My Prayers are with you and your family Deborah Ninemire (Old Henredon Pal)

No one could light up a room the way Meg did. People were drawn to her smile, her laugh, her energy and her enthusiasm. The world dimmed a little when she left, but heaven is brighter. Rest well, my friend.

Meg was one of the most unique people I've ever known - always full of love and life, and always a kind word for everyone. She was a ray of sunshine - I am blessed to have known her.

What a beautiful picture of a beautiful lady. Meg's radiance and love continued to shine brightly throughout her illness. Remaining more concerned with the welfare of others than with her own heartbreaking circumstance, Meg was a truly exceptional women in so many ways. But one that will always stay with me is the gift of her limitless spirit that she shared with us all.

Joey,
I remember first meeting Meg in your mom's kitchen. You were so excited about our meeting (wanting my approval I guess). She was perfect for you. I know the past five years have been hard, but now Meg is resting peacefully in God's arms. I know her wonderful spirit will live on in you and her children.

I first met Meg in 1988 at a Chamber Membership Drive. We tooled around town for the day dropping in on many businesses. Her humor and wit gave me more laughs that day. Seems like yesterday. She ran a good race; finished and won for Christ.

We did not know Meg, but James and Holly are our neighbors and some of our best friends. We know that James and the entire Tuttle/Harper family are deeply hurting by their loss. And from talking with James, we know how HARD she fought, which seems to be a wonderful trait of this dear family. We're here for you Tuttles & Harpers.
