Beverly Tuttle

Beverly Ruth Tuttle passed away September 24, 2024 at the Wakonda Heritage Manor in Wakonda, SD. She is at peace in the presence of her Savior, Jesus Christ. Celebration of Life Services will be held at a later date.

Bev was born May 23, 1959 in Belle Fourche, SD, the daughter of William and Louise Tuttle. She was married in 1979 and to this union was born a daughter, Janet. Bev grew up in Belle Fourche and always considered Belle Fourche her home.

Bev loved cats, visiting with friends and family, coloring, playing bingo, and playing Skipbo, Rook, and other card games. During her years at Wakonda Heritage Manor, Bev made many friends among the residents as well as the staff and was elected President of the Resident Council. The Manor gave her opportunities to go to the circus, and to make many crafts for which she won ribbons at the Turner County Fair. Bev was especially happy that her mother joined her at the Manor in December 2022, and so they were able to share every meal together and to see each other every day.

Bev is survived by her daughter, Janet Tuttle, her mother Louise Rohlf, 3 brothers (Lester Tuttle, Bill Tuttle, and Larry Rohlf), 2 sisters (Ellen Tuttle Margheim and Lori Rohlf Maguire), her stepmother Carol Tuttle, and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her father William Tuttle and her stepfather, Milton Rohlf. She was also preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Floyd and Lillian Taylor, and by her paternal grandparents Jesse and Bertha Tuttle. 

Bev's family is grateful for the 12 years of wonderful and loving care she received from the staff of Wakonda Heritage Manor, and for the compassionate services over the last 3 weeks from AseraCare Hospice.
