Ann Tuttle Obituary
Warren – Ann M. Tuttle, 89, of Warren, died Tuesday morning, September 9, 2025, in UMass Memorial Hospital – University Campus in Worcester.
She leaves her husband of over 70 years, Robert B. Tuttle; three sons, R. Bradford Tuttle and his husband Steve of Bradenton, Florida, Mark Tuttle and his wife Gloria of Warren, and Richard E. Tuttle also of Warren. She also leaves two grandchildren, Tyler and Ariana Tuttle. She was born in and grew up in Ithaca, New York, daughter of the late James and Nell (McCarthy) Bedell.
Ann met Bob at Cornell University, and together, they moved back to Warren. They owned and operated Breezeland Orchards for many years, prior to their son Mark and his wife Gloria taking over the business. She and Bob enjoyed their winter home in Florida for over 36 years. She was active within the town of Warren. As someone who loved reading, she was a past-president and member of the Board of Trustees for the Warren Library. She was also a voting clerk for 40 years during the town elections. As a pastime, Ann learned the talented art of rug hooking and her works have been featured across the country. Her home is filled with rugs, and her children can attest to the rugs as gifts for any special occasion.
A Celebration of Ann’s life is being planned for Monday, November 10, 2025, at a time to be determined. Varnum Funeral Home, 43 East Main St., in West Brookfield is assisting her family with her arrangements. An online tribute page is available at varnumfuneralhome.com
