Grace Tuttle Obituary
Grace was born August 11, 1936 in Byron Center, MI to Albert and Catherine (VanDussen) Groeneveld. She married Robert Tuttle on July 27, 1962 in Moline, MI. Grace worked as a foreign missionary for 38 years, 36 in Venezuela and 2 in Costa Rica-from 1966 to 2004 before settling in Big Lake, MN where they helped start the Spanish-speaking church within Hope EFC.
She delighted in teaching 4th grade and children and adults in various Christian camps and programs, Girl Scouts, VBS, Women's Bible studies, Sunday School classes, University courses for learning English as a second language and for 10 years at CADA, the missionary children's school in El Limón, Venezuela.
Grace was known for putting her heart and soul into everything she did including motherhood and teaching; for her gentleness, warmth, encouragement, and for her confidence in the Lord whom she faithfully served in all circumstances. She loved to share the hope she experienced on her faith journey.
She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Robert of Big Lake; daughters, Deborah Tuttle of Santiago, Rebeca (Brent) Anderson of Golden Valley, Gloria (William) Hagstrom of Maple Grove; grandchildren, Amanda Harris, Wesley Harris, Megan (Derrick) Nelson, Trent (Emily) Hagstrom, Jonathan Anderson, Victoria Hagstrom; great grandchildren, Theodore Nelson, London Nelson, Willow Nelson, Finnley Hagstrom; brothers and sisters, Kenneth Groeneveld of Wayland, MI, Arnold Groeneveld of Byron Center, MI, Lois Zartman of Grandville, MI, Mary Bendull of Dorr, MI; and by many precious friends, former students, and colleagues.
