Lucretia Love (Teedie) Tuttle
December 30, 1934 — August 24, 2009
Laurinburg
Mrs. Lucretia Love "Teedie" Tuttle, 74, died Monday, August 24 at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital.
A memorial service will be 4 p.m. Thursday at the First United Methodist Church officiated by the Rev. Ralph Brown.
She is survived by two sons, Mark Tuttle and wife, Dana of Carrboro and Frank Tuttle and wife, Susannah of Chapel Hill; a brother, Dr. Thom Love of Minot, ND; three granddaughters, Johanne Tuttle, Claire Tuttle, and Liza Tuttle of Carrboro.
Teedie was born December 30, 1934 in Scotland County, she was a daughter of the late James Thomas and Lois Robbins Love. She graduated from Pfeiffer College and for many years she was an elementary teacher in the Scotland County schools. While a fifth grade academically gifted teacher at Central school, Teedie had the idea to teach students about their heritage by taking them to historical homes in Scotland County. This gradually expanded to the entire school and became known as Heritage Day. Heritage Day expanded to the entire school system and at one point had demonstrations of over 100 craftsmen and collectors. In 1983 Heritage Day evolved into the John Blue Cotton Festival that is still held annually at the John Blue Historic Complex. This continues the second weekend of every October as Scotland County's largest annual attraction.
Teedie was also active with the Oban student exchange where she served as a chaperon and for many years hosted a covered dish dinner for the exchange students and their hosts at her log cabin home. She creatively decorated her home to reflect a tasteful museum of American and local history.
Teedie was truly an "unsung force" behind many community endeavors such as the Humane Society, the Scotland County Chapter of American Red Cross, the Lions Club, Encore Theater, and the Scotch Gardener's Garden Club.
Visitation will be 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at the McDougald Funeral Home and Crematorium and following the memorial service in the church fellowship hall.
