Oil-price bonanza not yet seen
Expected boon to economy thus far
actually has been a 0.2 percent hit
By Luke Kawa
B L OOMBE RG NEWS
Lower oil prices were
roundly celebrated as a tailwind for global growth.
In theory, the movement of
wealth from commodity producers, which often stow away
oil revenue in sovereign
wealth funds, to consumers,
which spend a far larger portion of their income, is a positive for economic activity.
But strategists at Credit
Suisse believe that so far, the
global economy has seen only
the storm from lower crude,
not the rainbow that follows.
“The fall in the oil price was
considered by many investors,
and ourselves, to be a significant positive for global GDP
growth,” a team led by global
equity strategist Andrew
Garthwaite admitted.
But the net effect of this
development, according to
their calculations, so far actually has turned out to be a 0.2
percent hit to the global economy.
The negative effects of lower
oil — namely the large-scale
cuts to capital expenditures —
are having a large and imme-

diate impact on global gross
domestic product.
“The problem is that commodity-related capex accounts
for circa 30 percent of global
capex (with oil capex down 13
percent and mining capex
down 31 percent in the past 12
months),” wrote the strategists, “and thus the fall in U.S.
and global commodity capex
and opex has taken at least
circa 0.8 percent off U.S. GDP
growth in the first half 2015
and circa 1 percent off global
GDP growth over the last
year.”

Student loans provide

“It feels like I’m being set up
to fail.”
That’s how Patrick Wittwer,
31, described his experience
trying to repay his roughly
$50,000 in student loans.
Between misdirected payments by one of the companies
servicing his loan and the
abusive collection tactics he
encountered when he fell behind, Wittwer said the repayment process simply seemed
stacked against him.
A 2008 graduate of Temple
University with a degree in
media arts, Wittwer isn’t alone
in his experience. Consumer
advocates say student-loan
servicers often make an already heavy debt load even
more burdensome for borrowers.
A report issued late last
month by the Consumer Financial Protection Board sup-
ports this view.
Even though the
economy and
labor market
have improved,
student
loan borrowers are
experiencing
high distress
levels compared
with borrowers
with other types of
consumer debt, the
government report found.
More than one in four student loan borrowers are delinquent or in default on their
obligations.
In the aftermath of the financial crisis, we learned repeatedly about dubious practices among mortgage servicing companies that made it
harder for homeowners trying
to repay or renegotiate their
loans.
Now, similar horror stories

are emerging about the companies servicing student loans.
Some 41 million Americans
owe $1.2 trillion in student loan
debt. The median debt burden
among borrowers was $20,000
in 2014, up from $13,000 in
2007.
Companies servicing these
loans manage borrowers’ ac-
counts, process their payments
and enroll them in alternative
repayment plans, including
those based on a fixed share of
the borrowers’ income. Among
the biggest companies are
Navient, Great Lakes and Discover Bank.
The Education Department
has contracts with 11 loan servicers. But with no federal
standards governing these
activities, student-loan servicers have great leeway in their
practices. Making matters
worse, borrowers aren’t allowed to choose their servicers, so if they encounter problems, they can’t take their business elsewhere.
“Good loan servicing is expensive,” Maura Dundon, senior policy counsel at the Center for Responsible Lending,
said recently. “It requires
reaching out and talking to
people, and servicers don’t do
it because they don’t get comLoans continues on B5
Things to know about property tax bill
Owners of every piece of
taxable property in Texas are
about to receive their annual
property tax bills. Homeowners
as well as commercial property
and land owners are finding
out if their annual tax bills have
gone up and, if so, how much.
With the state’s economy
doing fairly well the past few
years, many Texans will see
higher tax bills because their
homes and properties are
worth more. That valuation is a
big driver of the final bill.
Those who pay their property taxes through a mortgage

Doggett writes

economy doing

might not notice a difference
for months because their mortgage company receives the bill
soon after Oct. 1 and then rolls
it into the monthly payment.
Those who own their property

tax bill themselves, on the other hand, get a cold, hard look

directly at the bill each fall.
Whether you pay your taxes
directly or through your mortgage, here are 10 things you
need to know about your new
property tax bill:
1. The law automatically puts a
lien on the property every Jan. 1
to secure payment of that year’s
property taxes. A delinquent
property tax lien can hurt your
chances of getting full market
value for your property if
you’re considering selling.
2. Payment of the bill is due no
later than Jan. 31.
3. Starting Feb. 1, unpaid taxes
are subject to penalties and fees
that can reach 42 percent of the
original bill if still unpaid by
July 1.
4. The bill is calculated based
on the value of the property
and the tax rates set by each
taxing entity in which the propTaxes continues on B5
Every three months, the
Federal Reserve releases an
enormous pile of numbers. It’s
called “Z.1 Financial Accounts
of the United States.” It examines the flow of funds through
our economy and the balance
sheets of different sectors. It’s
good bedtime reading. My
personal favorite is the “Household Balance Sheet” because it
tells us how we are doing, collectively, by reporting on our
holdings of all kinds of assets.
The most recent report, released in mid-September, provides no big surprises. Covering the second quarter, it tells
us that our collective wealth
increased by nearly $700 billion from the previous quarter
and that our total assets have
been increasing in each year of
the recovery. More to the point,
our collective net worth is now
higher than it was at the peak
of the bubble in 2007. If you’re
lucky, you’ve noticed. You have
a comfortable feeling of increased ease and affluence.
Then again, maybe you haven’t
noticed.
Back then, we had total assets of $81.2 trillion and a net
worth of $66.8 trillion. Today,
we have total assets of nearly
$100 trillion and a net worth of
$85.7 trillion. That sounds pretty nice. And in a grand sense, it
is. Richer is better.
There’s only one problem. If
you ask those ever-present
“nattering nabobs of negativism” questions, a different
message starts to emerge: The
rich are, quite definitely, getting
richer. Others, not so much.
Here’s why.
1 Consumers still are borrowing to look good. We like our
stuff, so we keep borrowing to
buy it. Over the period, the
amount we hold in consumer
durables — which is mostly
cars — rose modestly, from $4.5
trillion to $5 trillion. But consumer credit has more than
fully recovered. It rose from
$2.6 trillion to $3.3 trillion, an
increase of $700 billion. So we
own more stuff, but we also
owe more on it.
This is important because
the reality is that most Americans have more money invested in the used-car market
(because they own a car or two)
than they have invested in the
stock market.
It’s also useful to put consumer credit in perspective.
The $700 billion increase is far
smaller than the $1.2 trillion
decrease in home mortgage
debt.

Retirees facing high medical costs
By Suzanne Woolley
B L OOM BE RG NEWS
The average 65-year-old
couple retiring this year will
face health care costs of
$245,000 in the years ahead, up
11 percent from a 2014 estimate
of $220,000, according to a new
report.
That’s alarming if you’re 65
— and maybe more alarming if
you’re 25. (Imagine what the
cost will be when you’re ready
to retire.)
The higher number stems in
part from a change in assumptions about how long we’ll live.
In the wake of updated mortality tables put out by the Society
of Actuaries last year, Fidelity
Investments raised life expectancies in its annual Retiree
Health Care Cost Estimate. For
2015, it assumes that a 65-yearold man will live to 85 and a
65-year-old woman to 87. In
2014, the estimate was 82 for a
man and 85 for a woman.
The estimated annual increase in medical and prescription expenses stands at 4 to 5
percent, about the same as last
year. Prescription costs are
trending higher than medical,
at slightly above 7 percent, said
Sunit Patel, senior vice president of Fidelity’s Benefits Consulting group. Prescription
drug costs account for 23 percent of that $245,000 figure.
Money spent on deductibles
and cost-sharing with an insurer make up 43 percent, and
34 percent goes to Medicare
Part B and D premiums.
Fidelity’s calculation assumes that the couple are enrolled in Medicare health coverage and have bought supplemental (Medigap) insurance.
Dental isn’t included (and can
be very expensive), nor is one

Fidelity Investments has boosted its estimate of retirees’ health care costs in the years ahead,
raising it to $245,000 for the average 65-year-old couple retiring this year.
big, scary chunk of potential
costs: long-term care.
Large as it is, Fidelity’s
$245,000 estimate is lower than
a projection of health care
costs in retirement released by
HealthView Services this year.
HealthView works with an
actuarial company to come up
with life expectancies only for
healthy 65-year-old couples.
That bumps up the life expectancies to 87 for a man and 89
for a woman.
You’d think the estimated
costs for a healthy couple
might be lower, but the surveys
use different assumptions, so
there’s no apples-to-apples
comparison to be made.
HealthView’s estimate for a fit
65-year-old couple retiring this
year is $266,589. When dental,
vision, co-pays and all out-ofpocket expenses are included,
the tally rises to $394,954.
There are ways consumers
can try to defray some health
care costs in retirement.
As more workers are put
into high-deductible health
care plans, they often gain
access to tax-advantaged health
savings accounts, also known
as HSAs. These can help cover
medical expenses in retirement, particularly if you open
one when you’re young and its
earnings compound, tax-free,
for decades. With HSAs, you
can roll over to the next year
any unused money you set
aside, pre-tax, to cover health
expenses.
That’s different from a flexible spending account, or FSA;
if you don’t use that money in a
given year, you lose it.
after growing at a robust clip
in the previous two years.
And the payouts to investors who own oil stocks also
have been cut, which Credit
Suisse deems to be a modest
negative for household income.
“A fall in capex brings with
it a fall in direct employment
and earnings (total payroll
income in the U.S. energy
sector is down by 18 percent
since November last year, for
example), as well as secondround effects on other industries servicing the capex
process, from machinery producers to catering and hotels,”
the team wrote.
The team also found the
declines in capital spending
have much less of a front-
loaded shock on growth than
in the 1980s, the decade in
which we last saw a supplydriven plunge in oil prices:
“As a result, even once the
oil price has decisively
troughed, the lag in both cutting (and restarting) capex
projects is such that capex
could remain a drag on GDP
for a number of quarters,”
Garthwaite’s team wrote.
On the flip side, the positive
effects for consumers have
been slow to manifest, best
depicted through the rise in
the percentage of income consumers elect to save.
This rise in savings ratio in
the U.S., Japan and continental
Europe speaks to concern
about the how long these lower gas prices will endure. If
households believe the relief at
the pump is only temporary,
they’re less likely to deploy
those funds in more discretionary areas.
Garthwaite and his team
note that consumers are coming around to the notion that
lower oil prices might be a
permanent development and
are loosening their purse
strings.
As such, Credit Suisse
maintains that lower oil prices
eventually will prove to be a
net benefit for global growth,
thanks to the transfer of
wealth to entities with a higher marginal propensity to
consume as well as the prospect for more accommodative
fiscal and monetary policy
linked to softness in crude.
As more workers are put into high-deductible
health care plans, they often gain access to
tax-advantaged health savings accounts. These
can help cover medical expenses in retirement.
Elon Musk is a notorious
workaholic. As the CEO of
SpaceX and Tesla long has made
clear, he doesn’t really need
much vacation. He’s described
lounging on the beach as “the
worst,” and something that
would leave him “super-duper
bored.” He joked in a recent
biography that “vacation will
kill you,” after recounting a trip
that left him with a malaria
infection.
This makes Musk’s recent
remarks to a Danish television
station so surprising and a reminder that long hours can
grind down even the toughest
and more passionate workers.
“My priority right now is to
try to add some more management bench strength to Tesla in
particular so that I can take a
vacation,” Musk said in a recent
interview. “In the last 12 years,
I’ve only tried to take a week off
twice.”
An emotional Musk grew
misty-eyed during parts of the
interview, and he reflected on
the toll that running SpaceX and
Tesla has had on him.
“Creating a company is almost like having a child,” Musk
said. “It’s almost like, how do
you say your child should not
have food?
His interviewer asked, “So
once you have the company, you
have to feed it and nurse it and
take care of it even if it ruins
you?”
“Yeah,” a misty-eyed Musk
said.
After a long pause, Musk was
asked how he got through the
2008 financial crisis.
“Yeah,” said Musk with a
shake of his head. “Can we just
break for a second?”
Musk was strikingly more
emotional and vulnerable than
in most interviews. Gone were
the usual efforts to present himself as superhuman yet lighthearted. At one point, Musk
acknowledged he has questioned why he submits himself
to all the risks of running stressful companies such as SpaceX
and Tesla. (Not to mention being
the chairman of SolarCity.)
“It’s actually been a very difficult journey, I have to say. But I
think there are certain important things that we must do in
order for the future to be good.
We must have sustainable energy. If we don’t have that, the
future is going to be terrible.”

that do not have safety retention straps to secure the
handle to the bed frame to
keep the handle from shifting
out of place and creating a
dangerous gap. Recalled models include the Original Bedside
Assistant (BA10W), the Travel
Handles (BA11W) which is sold
as a set of two bed handles,
and the Adjustable Bedside
Assistant (AJ1). They were sold
by home health care stores,
drug stores and medical equipment stores nationwide and in
home and health care catalogs
from January 1994 through
December 2007. The original
recall was announced May 20,
2014; it was reannounced in
September because of a response rate of less than 1
percent. The latest announcement was in response to reports of a fourth death.
Why: When attached to an
adult’s bed without the use of
safety retention straps, the
handle can shift out of place,
creating a dangerous gap
between it and the side of the
mattress. This poses a serious
risk of entrapment, strangulation and death.

lion peak in 2007, housing crashed and then
recovered, but just barely,
to $21.5 trillion, a gain of
3.9 percent. Things actually are a little better than
that because we also paid
down (or had foreclosed)
home mortgages. They
went from $10.6 trillion in
2007 to $9.4 trillion, a
decline of nearly 12 percent. So our houses are
worth a bit more and we
owe less on them.
But those figures don’t
sort out the churn. Some
people didn’t participate
in the recovery. They lost
their houses and became
renters. Others still may
be short of recovery,
having purchased close
to the market peak. But if
you bought your home
well before 2007 (the
earlier the better), you’ve
probably got more equity
than you thought you
had in 2007.
Another wrinkle is
that the Federal Reserve
figures indicate a recovery nationally, but it really depends on where you
live. According to the
Case-Shiller indexes, Las
Vegas, Phoenix and Miami still are far below
their peak in the bubble.
San Francisco is just
short of recovered. Los
Angeles has only 13 percent to go. Denver and
Dallas, on the other
hand, never crashed.
They are up a healthy,
but not worrisome,
amount.
We may have the same
amount of money in our
homes collectively, but it
has moved into different
pockets.

stocks are up. The value

up a handsome 36 percent, from $9.9 trillion to
$13.5 trillion. But that’s
another distribution
story. Most people don’t
own individual stocks, so
the major beneficiaries of
individual stock ownership are the big dogs.
1 Mutual funds are up,
too. The best news is
here. The value of mutual
funds we collectively own
has risen from $4.6 trillion to $7.8 trillion, more
than 65 percent. With a
multitude of 401(k),
403(b) and IRA accounts
out there, this is where
it’s difficult to argue that
only the rich are getting
richer. Lots of regular
working stiffs have been
getting richer, too.
Another interesting
change is that houses
have dropped from 25.5
percent of our total assets
to 21.3 percent. Mutual
funds have increased
from 5.7 percent to 8.3
percent. That’s a good
thing. It means we’re
collectively less dependent on housing for our
sense of personal wealth.

McCrystal taught English, loved animals
By Richard Webner
Irene
McCrystal’s
teaching career
ran 37 years. She
retired from San
Antonio College
in 1991.
STA FF W RI T E R
Irene McCrystal, a longtime
English professor at San Antonio College who wrote books
about the Civil War, died Oct.
4 in San Antonio. She was 89.
McCrystal, who was born in
Massachusetts, spent nine
years as a nun before leaving
the sisterhood and becoming a
professor, friend Catherine
Laidig said.
She started her career at
Marymount College of Kansas
and taught for 37 years before
retiring from San Antonio
College in 1991.
At her corral at Medina
Lake, McCrystal indulged in
her love of animals, taking
care of birds, dogs, cats and a
donkey. One of her books,
“Sunshine in a Cup,” is a collection of stories about her
pets, whom she refers to as
“the troops.”
Another one of her books is
about Mary Surratt, who was
convicted and hanged in 1865
for her involvement in the
assassination of President
Abraham Lincoln. The book is
a “spirited defense” of Surratt,
examining her through a feminist lens, said John Igo, who
taught with McCrystal at San
Antonio College.
McCrystal was a reserved
person, “known well only to
those closest to her,” according
to an obituary she wrote for
herself.
She was a compassionate
person who would make a
point of befriending people
with troubles, Igo said.
“She dumped compassion
on anyone who needed it,” Igo
said.
She was also a passionate
member of the faculty Senate
at the college, fighting for
more faculty control over evaluations, promotions and com-

mittee appointments, her
friends said. Her wit and intelligence made her a favorite
among students.
McCrystal’s teaching style
was to confide in students, “as
in, ‘This is what I know, this is
what I’ve learned, and I’m
going to share it with you,’”
Igo said.
Another passion for
McCrystal was travel. She
made visits to Africa, Alaska,
Canada and Europe, and she
once kayaked from Maine to
Cape Cod. She kept vacation
homes in Bandera and Rockport.
She filled her time with
other hobbies: She played the

piano, mandolin and violin,
and in later years she took up
painting, favoring images of
animals and water, Laidig
said.
McCrystal suffered from
dementia in the years before
her death. Her ailment forced
her to leave her corral in 2011
to live in a travel trailer on a
friend’s property, Laidig said.
After taking some falls, she
moved into hospice care.
Even after leaving the sisterhood, McCrystal remained
religious and was a member of
the Episcopal Church.

in San Antonio, Texas to Thekla
(Weilbacher) and Arthur Nentwich.
He grew up on the family ranch in
southwest Bexar County near
Macdona, Texas. He was always
very proud of his heritage as part
of a pioneer ranching family.
Carl graduated from Southwest
High School as valedictorian at the
young age of sixteen. Afterward, he
attended preparatory school and
Texas Lutheran University until he
was old enough to enroll at the
University of Texas. He graduated
from UT with a BS in Civil
Engineering in 1962 and a Master
of Business Administration in 1963.

member of the Texas Cowboys and
several honor societies.
Early in his career, Carl worked in

fondly remember his passion for
hunting, his love of gardening, his
devotion to the Texas Longhorns,
and his undying love of the San
Antonio Spurs.

parents. He is survived by his

Young Invincibles, a nonprofit
advocacy group, points to
some of the weaknesses in
student loan servicing.
One common borrower complaint among the roughly 1,200
people who responded to the
survey was that servicers simply fail to follow instructions.
Borrowers hoping to reduce
both the cost and the length of
their repayment period, for
example, often ask servicers to
steer payments toward highercost loans first. In a number of
cases, recipients said, the companies ignored these requests.
“For servicers to ignore or
do the opposite thing that a
borrower would request is
indicative of something very
negative going on in the industry,” said Jennifer Wang,
policy director at Young Invincibles.
Improper levying of late fees
was another practice cited by
those shouldering student
loans. So were losing paperwork and making repeated
requests for documentation.
Perhaps the biggest problem

Student loan borrowers are experiencing high distress levels
compared with borrowers with other types of consumer debt.
cited by borrowers and their
advocates was the failure of
student loan servicers to advise their customers of the full
array of repayment plans available to them. In many cases,
this means borrowers don’t
know they are eligible for loan
relief and so don’t receive it.
Such relief includes repayment plans for federal loans
based on a borrower’s income
and family size, or debt forgiveness programs for borrowers who work in public service. Military service members
also have a right to a lower
interest rate while they are on
active duty.
But many eligible borrowers
don’t hear about these options,
advocates say. An August report from the Government
Accountability Office estimated that 51 percent of student
loan borrowers nationwide are
eligible for income-based repayment plans, but only 15
percent are enrolled.
Rather than offer one of
these programs, servicers
often suggest loan forbearance,
in which the borrower stops
making payments temporarily.
But because interest keeps
piling up on the loan during
the forbearance period, this is
an expensive alternative. And
some private student loan
servicers charge a $150 fee to
put an account into forbearance.
Servicers say the complexity
of federal student loan arrangements creates problems
both for their workers who
must try to explain these deals
and for borrowers who need to
understand them. But servicers receive $600 million a year
for their work, and explaining
loan terms is surely one of the
jobs they are being paid to
perform.
“For a servicer to see a student loan borrower struggle
and not help them get into the
right repayment plan is a huge
customer service failure,”
Wang said.

WASHINGTON — A college
degree practically stamped Andres Aguirre’s ticket to the middle class. Yet at age 40, he’s still
paying the price of admission.
After a decade of repayments,
Aguirre still diverts $512 a
month to loans and owes
$20,000.
The expense requires his
family to rent an apartment in
Campbell, California, because
buying a home in a decent
school district would cost too
much. His daughter has excelled
in high school, but Aguirre has
urged her to attend community
college to avoid the debt that
ensnared him.
“I didn’t get the warmest
reception on that,” said Aguirre,
a health care manager. “But she
understands the choice.”
America’s crushing surge of
student debt, now at $1.2 trillion,
has bred a disturbing new phenomenon: School loans that
span multiple generations within families. Weighed down by
their own loans, many parents
lack the means to fund their
children’s educations without
sinking even deeper into debt.
Data analyzed by the Associated Press, along with surveys
about families and rising student debt loads, show that:
1 Student debt is surpassing
groceries as a primary expense,
with the gap widening most for
younger families. The average
college-educated head of household under 40 owes $404 a
month in student debt payments. That’s slightly more than
what the government says the
average college-educated family
spends at the supermarket.
1 School loans increasingly
contact their local tax assessor-collector.
9. According to the Tax Foundation, an independent research organization, Texas’
effective property tax rates for
homeowners are the sixthhighest of all 50 states.
10. More than 4,000 local governments levy property taxes
in Texas. Combined, they lev-
belong to Americans over 40.
This group accounts for 35 percent of education debt, up from
25 percent in 2004. Contributing
to this surge: Longer repayment
schedules, more midcareer
workers returning to school and
additional borrowing for children’s education.
1 Generation X adults — those
35 to 50 years old — owe about
as much as people fresh out of
college do. Student loan balances average $20,000 for Generation X. Millennials, who are 34
and younger, have roughly the
same average debt.
1 Gen-X parents who carry
student debt and have teenage
children have struggled to save
for their children’s educations.
The average they have in college
savings plans is just $4,000,
compared with a $20,000 average for teenagers’ parents who
aren’t still repaying their own
school loans. A result is that
many of their children will need
to borrow heavily for college,
thereby perpetuating a cycle of
family debt.
The multigenerational debt
cycle reflects a rush to pursue
college as a path to middle-class
security. Roughly 25 years ago,
federal policies began encouraging borrowing on a mass scale to
cover soaring college costs. Policymakers figured borrowers
could afford the debt because
college degrees would all but
guarantee comfortable incomes.
The reality played out somewhat differently.
Roughly 6 million Gen-X
households still owe student
debt. Some, like Aguirre, are
forgoing homeownership. Others have moved to remote
stretches of the country to qualify for loan forgiveness programs.

Meda Jean Massie Tuttle, "Jeanie"
to all who knew and loved her- was
a force of nature and a bright light
of love, joy and faith to all who
ever had the honor of being in her
presence. She left this home for
one more eternal on October 9,
2015, at the age of 60.
Born August 19, 1955, to Rose and
Ludy Massie of Lubbock, Texas,
Jeanie was the much adored baby
sister to two older sisters and two
older brothers. She never lacked
for playmates, babysitters or people
to blame their missteps on her.
"Jeanie did it!" was a common
refrain in the Massie house and
became an all-purpose punchline
as the kids became adults and the
family grew. She bore it as she did
most everything in life: with a loud
laugh and a witty comeback. She
grew up learning to love cooking,
games, and crafting from her
mother and inherited her ear for
music and love of singing from her
father.
Jeanie received her education at
Lubbock Christian Schools and
Lubbock Christian College. She
graduated from LCC in 1977 with a
Bachelor’s Degree in Education
and received additional
certifications from Texas Tech
University, Southwest Texas State
University and San Antonio
Community College. She later
obtained her Masters in Library
Science from the University of
Texas in 1992.

to you in the online guest book.
mySA.com/LifeTributes
For all of her many
accomplishments, the pride and joy
of Jeanie’s life was her family.
Jeanie married Charles Lee Tuttle
on June 23, 1989 in San Antonio,
Texas. Together they loved and
raised two children; Haylie Rose,
born in 1996, and Charles Tyler,
born in 1997. Jeanie thrived in her
roles of wife and mother and loved
nothing more than to be with her
family. Jeanie and Charlie built for
their children a home that has been
full of love, laughter, music,
delicious food, stacks of books and
movies, and that has a strong
foundation of faith and hope in
Jesus Christ.
Jeanie is preceded in death by her
parents, Ludy and Rose Massie;
two sisters, Jana Lynn Massie
Paterson and Marta Gail Massie
Fenter; and one nephew, Neal
Taylor Massie.
She is survived by her husband,
Charles Tuttle of Buda, Texas; her
children, Haylie Rose and Charles
Tyler, and her goddaughter, Zoe
Scott, all students at Texas A&M
University; her brother, Lloyd
Massie, and his wife Pam, of Hutto,
Texas; her brother, Terry Massie,
and his wife, Pati, of Lubbock,
Texas; her brother-in-law, Randy
Fenter, and his wife, Karen, of
Cedar Park, Texas; her
brother-in-law, Graham Paterson,
and his wife, Anna, of Tucson,
Arizona; her mother-in-law, Debbie
Tuttle, of Midland, Texas; her
father-in-law, Charles W. Tuttle, of
Poteet, Texas; her brother-in-law,
Raland Tuttle, and his wife, Julie,
of Midland, Texas; sister-in-law,
Stephanie Washington,and her
husband, Brian, of N. Charleston,
South Carolina; sister-in-law,
Tammy Hoogerwerf, of Lewisville,
Texas; 20 nieces and nephews, 18
great-nieces and great-nephews;
and many cousins and friends.
Over her six decades of life, Jeanie
Tuttle changed the world for the
better. She was an exemplary wife
and mother, a devoted daughter, a
loyal sister and friend, a funny and
generous aunt, and a dedicated
teacher. Jeanie touched the lives of
everyone she met- she was
stunningly generous with her time
and her knowledge; she was
outrageously funny and loved to
laugh; she was tenderhearted,
compassionate and a terrific
caretaker. When she was
diagnosed with ALS, Jeanie did not
waiver in her faith nor lose her
hope or her joy. She continued to
encourage and support those
around her and to give thanks for
her beautiful life and her family with
a twinkle in her eye and a smile on
her face. All who knew her will
miss her exuberant laughter, her
distinctively beautiful alto voice, her
strong bear hugs and her bigger
than life presence. However, we
know that when all is said and
done, when we look for a life and a
faith that was well and joyously
lived, the only thing to say is,
"Jeanie did it!" All praise to God!
A Celebration of Life service will be
held at 1:00PM on Saturday,
October 17, 2015 at Beck Funeral
Home, 1700 East Whitestone Blvd.
(FM 1431), Cedar Park, Texas
78613.
Personal words of comfort and
memories may be shared with the
Tuttle family at our online
guestbook at
