Grace Tuttle
July 18, 2002-Jan. 17, 2025
Pleasanton, California
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beautiful daughter, Grace Cecilia Tuttle, on January 17, 2025 after a courageous battle with brain cancer for the past four years. She was just 22 years old. Grace was born July 18, 2002, in Pleasanton, CA and graduated from Foothill High School in 2020. She was an avid swimmer all her life. She swam for the Fast Dolphins where she eventually joined the staff as a junior coach. Grace also swam for the Foothill High School swim team, backstroke becoming her favorite stroke. She went on to college at Cal State San Marcos where she studied Sociology and proudly received her BA degree this past June. Grace had the ambition of one day becoming a social worker, specifically working with children in hospitals. This was largely due to the amazing staff at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, where she had received treatment for the duration of her illness. She loved all dogs, especially her beloved Bear, her puppy for over 14 years. She loved spending time over at Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz, soaking in the sun with family and friends and visiting all her favorite spots, Gayle's Bakery, Pizza My Heart, and most recently, the local revolving Tiki Bar. She had participated in the Wharf 2 Wharf run from Santa Cruz to Capitola for the past five years. Grace will be dearly missed and forever loved by all who knew her. She is survived by her loving boyfriend Aaron Miller, her parents Tim and Cindy Tuttle, grandmother Corrine Laureno, grandfather Clifford Laureno, her cherished siblings Brienne (Andy) Just, Christopher (Jen) Tuttle, Allison (Kyle) Marcus, and Mason Tuttle, and her five nieces, Hannah, Remy, Shay, Hallie and Athena.
We love you Grace, you'll be forever in our hearts.
