Carrie Ellen Tuttle

My name is Marc Matthews,(Genealogist) Carrie Tuttle possibly was my distant cousin going back to William Tuttle & Elizabeth Matthews of England 1600's, and later (prox) 1935 migrated to New Haven, Connecticut where our Matthews line merged with the Tuttles
. I am sorry I was unable to make contact with her or her family before she passed (so young). If any of the Tuttle's see this note and feel we are possibly connected back in Early Connecticut, please contact me. @...

About five years ago, I was working on a t.v. commercial at the Chicago Historical Society as a scenic painter. And much to my surprise I was not the only painter on the job. Carrie was hired to replicate about a dozen or more master paintings for the shoot. Of course, she did a very convincing job. There we were, both of us on our knees at opposite ends of a long gallery room...each of us with our tint racks, furiously mixing colors. She for her fine art paintings and me for wall...

What a beautiful mass, a wonderful salute and stunning family. Jennifer, you are as beautiful as your work. It was nice to have finally met you.For so long, all I ever saw of you and Abby was your talent represented. And Jamie, you are not the little girl I used to drive around with Kady and play chauffer to. Please stay in touch, should you choose to.

Carrie did the same in our bedroom, only in creams and yellows and tans. The...

To be so close to people all through high school and then to lose touch with them, think of them often, only to hear of them at times like this. Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle: one of the funnest times of my life was spent in your home with Carrie on New Years Eve. Amy and Susie are you still around? I still have those memoirs we wrote of that night!
Although cut short, her life was not wasted. And she leaves behind many fond memories and legacies.
May you all be well and...

My memories of Carrie Tuttle are wonderful ones. I am a friend of Jamie's, from high school. Carrie went to New Trier as well. Carrie was always well respected in the photography department, just like her sister, Jamie. Jamie and Carrie were extremely close in age and in friendship and love. Jamie and Carrie did everything together. As Abby once said, " They are like Irish Twins." Dear Tuttle's, I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss of of a wonderful, creative, loving and...
