It is with heavy hearts that St. Patrick Parish mourns the loss of Sheila Tuttle, our long-time office administrative assistant. Sheila passed away on September 7th following a sudden brain hemorrhage.
Sheila and her family joined the parish several years ago, and she began working at St. Patrick’s as the Sunday receptionist in the early 2000’s. For the last 18 months, she was working as the office receptionist on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well. As part of her work in the office, Sheila oversaw supply orders for the parish office, kitchen pantry, and sacristy, and also worked on the custodial crew on Mondays and Wednesdays. Parishioners who would stop in the office on Sunday mornings would be greeted by her smiling face and warm personality! Sheila kept the waiting area of the office decorated at Christmastime, and made sure that the statue of Our Lady of Fatima had fresh flowers during the spring and summer. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Sheila is survived by her husband of 40 years, Tom; their seven children: Lauren (Josh), Matt (Brynn), Joe, Caitlin (Austin), Collin, Aidan (Alyssa), and Quinn; eight grandchildren; and several brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, and other members of her large extended family.
Calling hours for Sheila will be on Friday, September 11th at Egan-Ryan Funeral Home (Central Chapel), 403 E. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215, from 3:00pm-7:00pm, with the praying of the Rosary beginning at 7:00pm. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Patrick Church on Saturday, September 12th at 10:00am, with burial to follow at St. Joseph Cemetery.
