My memories of Aunt Faity: http://rodneyssaga.com/2015/07/18/off-topic-aunt-faity/

I hope Saturday was full of happy memories as well as of grief.

We had the lucky opportunity to meet Mrs. Tuttle at a fundraiser for the Columbia County Historical Society's First Columbian's annual fundraiser. We were new transplants to Columbia County, New York. She was 102 then. She wore a silk fish scale full length custom gown and looked like a million dollars. When we complimented Esther on her gown, her response to us was " Oh this old thing, why I have had this since I was 100 years old." She was both a blessing to her family as well as to her...

While Faity's death is sad for her family and all of us who knew her, it provided me with a clarion call to look back and realise the diverse richness Faity added to the quality of life in our community in large and small ways. My family and I have been enriched by knowing this lady who maintained her dignity and set a standard with a twinkle in her eye and mischief in her heart... I am deeply indebted to her family for sharing Faity with me. Rima Bostick

Sincere condolences goes out to the Tuttle family for your sad loss.

Faity always seemed to celebrate every day. An attribute we could all learn from. I am sure her memorial will be a celibration of a wonderful life, I am sorry i will not be able to attend. Sending you all, my condolences and thoughts.

An irrepressible spirit and an unmatched joie de vivre. Faity was truly a force of nature, and a model for anyone who aspires to be all he or she can be. She inspired everyone she touched, and she touched many with her life, her book, her art, her soul. Few have left such a joyous memory.

Dear Jim and Nora and family, Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your Mom and Grandmother. She enjoyed a long and full life and was a truly amazing woman. May your memories comfort you at this sad time.
