TUTTY, Dorothy Sarah Louisbourg
It is with broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Dorothy Tutty on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 at home, with her family by her side. Born on August 19, 1930 and raised in Louisbourg, Dorothy was the daughter of the late Alice and Archibald Leahy. Over the years Dorothy was employed at the local fish plants and the Fleur-delis Motel. She was a member of Stella Maris Parish and the CWL. Dorothy loved being around people, never missing a Crabfest. She enjoyed dancing at the Bateston Athletic Club and evenings around the fire pit next door. Dorothy was a loving mother and grandmother who will be fondly remembered by her son, Percy (Gearlyn); daughters, Sharon (Danny) and Diane; as well as her pride and joy, her grandchildren, Scott, Stacey, John David ‘JD’ and Alexandra; Dorothy treasured her fur baby, Ali, who was constantly by her side. She is also survived by her sister, Diana (Clark) MacKinnon. Besides her parents, Dorothy was predeceased by her husband, Percy Tutty; sister, Mary Leahy; brother, Archie (Margaret) Leahy and son-in-law, William Tutty. Visitation and memorial service to celebrate the life of Dorothy Tutty will be held at Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church St.) Whitney Pier on Sunday, July 12, 2020. A gathering of family and friends will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. with the memorial service to follow at 6 p.m. in the All Faith Chapel with Fr. Evo Di Pierro officiating.
