Jesus called our beloved mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, Ruth Ann Grafe Tuttle, home on August 29, 2025, in Little Rock, Arkansas; formerly of Porter, Indiana. Ruth Ann was surrounded by family and friends at Home Health Care hospice as she peacefully entered into the presence of her Savior.

She was born in Sunman, Indiana, November 20, 1933, to the late Renos and late Virginia (Minneman) Grafe. Preceded in death by her husband, Marion, Ruth Ann is survived by her sons, Kenneth (Nook) and Jeffrey (Kathleen); six grandchildren, Karen, Katelyn (Brett), Megan, Alexandra (Josue), Christopher (Shelby) and Cody (Mariana); four great grandchildren Analivia, Edith, Lila, and Ezra; her brother  Reverend Harold Grafe (Sue); and nieces and nephews Timothy (Christine), Luther (Julie), Wendy (Ron), and Beth (David).

Widowed at age 40, Ruth Ann raised her teenage sons with strength and wisdom. She completed her college degree from Purdue in 1975 and practiced as a dedicated registered nurse. As a committed church member, Ruth Ann touched many lives by serving as a parish nurse, a Stephen Minister, and church choir member. She loved sewing, cross-stitching, and playing games. Ruth Ann truly enjoyed her final years living at Parkway Village in Little Rock. Her kindness, warmth, love, and compassion will be deeply missed.  Cremation Services of Arkansas (501)313-5431.
