June Duttle Obituary
Babe was born on June 16, 1928, in Dubuque, Iowa, the daughter of Theodore and Anna (Miller) Kalloway.
Babe attended Marshall Grade School, Jefferson Middle School and Dubuque Senior High School. After school, she went to work at Farber Bag and later worked as a Nurses Aide and Medical Technician at St. Dominic Villa until her retirement. She married Raymond Duttle on January 9, 1954, in Savannah, Illinois. They celebrated 57 wedding anniversaries together before he passed away on March 13, 2011. She was always on the go and a very active person. Babe had a competitive side and liked to play baseball and go bowling. Babe also enjoyed sitting quietly sewing, knitting and putting together jigsaw puzzles. In her later years, Babe kept a watchful eye on things, and became the best Neighborhood Watch person you could ever ask for. Babe also loved all dogs, big and small. She was known to be a little bit feisty with a heart of gold. Babe was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

and 10 great great-grandchildren.
