BENTON – Sandra Tuttle of Benton went peacefully to be with the Lord on Oct. 28, 2023, surrounded by her family.

She was born in Manchester, N.H. to Clarence and Denise Bean. She attended Lowell High School in Lowell, Mass. She worked as a telephone operator in her early twenties. She started her family in Dracut, Mass. with Robert Schutz whom she had four children with. They decided to move to Maine in 1988 to raise their children. They found a beautiful farmhouse in Benton.

Sandy worked for Hathaway Shirt Company until the mill shut down; then in a warehouse as a shift leader and ended her career as a telephone operator for L.L. Bean.

Together Sandy and Robert raised their children. Sandy enjoyed going to the beach, visiting friends and really loved being a Meme most of all. She was an avid cribbage player. She often played in many tournaments. Sandy found her new church after the passing of her first husband. The Clinton Baptist Church became her new family, and this is where she met her second husband, Roger Tuttle.

Her retirement years were spent enjoying all life had to offer. Sandy and Roger were married and began a new life together. They were the cutest couple filled with so much love. They could be found almost anywhere hand and hand. They enjoyed going to camp, to the movies, visiting friends and family and providing support to everyone around them. They spent many Sundays going to church and family functions, or just sitting together listening to some great music from the 50’s and 60’s.

Sandra was predeceased by Robert Schutz; Roger Tuttle, Tara Schutz, Ellisa Nelson.

She is survived by her loving children, Greg and Kathy Bean of New Hampshire, Kurt Schutz of Massachusetts, Eric Schutz of Maine, Holly Holmes of Maine, Tammy Schutz of New Hampshire; stepchildren Paul Schutz of Massachusetts, Robin Schutz of Massachusetts; her grandchildren, Corey Schutz, Riley Holmes, Keith Fennelly, Allianna Fennelly, Julia Schutz, Alicia O’Brien, Rickey Saunders, Angelique and David Schutz of Massachusetts and William and Jacob Bean of New Hampshire; great, great grandchildren Liam and Addison Bean and Connor and Logan Bean of New Hampshire.

We would like to give a special thank you to Maine General Hospice team for their professionalism and compassion in our time of need, especially her nurse, Kelly for all her love and support.
