Patricia A. Etling-Tuttrow

Pat was the beloved wife of the late Ernest E. Tuttrow, Jr.; loving sister of the late Charles Etling, Jr.; dear sister-in-law of Mary Evelyn (the late Emanuel "Buster")Taylor, dear godmother of Laura (Craig) Conklin; dear cousin of Helen Etling; devoted "mother" to her little fur baby, Cuddlebear; dear aunt, dear friend of Mary Jo and Ken Gold and many others in her lifetime.

Pat was born March 31, 1945 in Saint Louis to Charles and Josephine Etling. She graduated from Fontbonne College in 1967 with a degree in Music and Drama, and later earned her Master's Degree in Education and Counseling. She was a firm believer in education and devoted her life to helping children. She married the love of her life, Ernie Tuttrow, on Valentine's Day 2008. Pat loved to travel, cook, and garden. We must include her love of shopping and fashion! That was her true passion when you get right down to it.

Pat was talented, artistic, creative, generous and was a true and loyal friend to those she held dear, both human and furry. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, especially her beloved Cuddlebear.

A Committal Service will be Monday, August 4, 2025 at 11am at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, 2900 Sheridan Road 63125. No flowers, please. Instead, contributions in her memory to Stray Rescue would be greatly appreciated by her family.
