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- Carolyn Van Houten / San Antonio Express-News Six pumpjacks stand outside of Cotulla.

Some 41 million Americans owe $1.2 trillion in student loan debt. Student loans provide hard economics lesson By Gretchen Morgenson N EW YORK T I ME S “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 Fotolia / The median debt burden among borrowers was $20,000 in 2014. The ed department has contracts with 11 loan servicers, but there are no federal standards governing their activities. 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 Mary Belan Doggett writes that with Texas’ economy doing well of late, many will see higher tax bills. 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 outright or choose to pay the tax bill themselves, on the other hand, get a cold, hard look GUEST VOICES Mary Belan Doggett 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. 1 Housing has recovered, but for whom?

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 OIL From page B1 Garthwaite and his group highlight three other channels through which soft oil prices have adversely affected the American economy: employment, wages and dividend income. Employment in oil and oilrelated industries has declined by roughly 8 percent since October 2014, with initial jobless claims in North Dakota, a prime beneficiary of the shale revolution, at extremely elevated levels. During this period, average hourly wages for those employed in oil and gas extraction shrank nearly 10 percent Emotional Musk tells of strains of being CEO By Matt McFarland WASHINGTON P O ST Associated Press / File photo 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.” THIS WEEK AHEAD In S.A.

Associated Press BURNS From page B1 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. 1 Holdings in individual stocks are up. The value of the stocks we hold is Figures indicate a (housing) recovery nationally, but it really depends on where you live. 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.

Life Tributes Monday, October 12, 2015 | PAGE B 4 | SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS 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- OBITUARY INDEX Nentwich, Carl Ortiz, Eugenia Pool, Betty Pruski, Vernon Tuttle, Meda FRANK SALAZAR BARRERA July 29, 1928 - October 6, 2015 Born: Nov. 25, 1925, Medford, Massachusetts and brother Maj.

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 Service: Private ceremony planned. 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.

He was best known for the fraught moments after gunfire erupted March 30, 1981, in Washington. Parr pushed the president into an awaiting limousine. He immediately ordered that the limo be driven to George Washington University Hospital instead of the White House. The president survived, but he had a close call.

Carl Albert Nentwich passed away peacefully on October 5, 2015 after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease and FXTAS. Carl was born on January 27, 1941 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. While at UT, he served as President of the Sigma Nu fraternity, Vice President of the Student Assembly, and was a member of the Texas Cowboys and several honor societies. Early in his career, Carl worked in real estate development for the Del Webb Corporation in their Houston and Chicago offices. In 1966, he returned to San Antonio and began a 42-year career as a real estate appraiser and broker. Carl was very active in the San Antonio Board of Realtors, receiving numerous awards and commendations including "Salesman of the Year" and "Broker of the Year." He served as President of SABOR in 1979 and continued as an active member of the Government Affairs Committee for 30 years thereafter. Additionally, he served on the boards and committees of many other organizations including The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance, Paseo Del Rio Association, San Antonio Conservation Society, Bexar Appraisal District’s Appraisal Review Board, Texas Associations of Professionals FCU, Southside Chamber of Commerce, Texas Wildlife Association, San Antonio Livestock Exposition, YMCA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Any Baby Can. Other community memberships included the San Antonio German Club, South Texas Area Farm and Ranch Club (Vice President), and Saint John’s Episcopal Church (New Braunfels). Those closest to Carl will most 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. Carl is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his daughters and their husbands: Cory and Phil Bakke, Cindy and Jimmy Bartz (Los Angeles), and Courtney and Scott Storment; and his grandchildren: Brandt Bakke, West Bakke, Jas Bartz, Jade Bartz, Abbie Storment and Caroline Storment.

This is the fault of servicers, but it’s also the fault of the (Education Department) for not writing this into their contracts.” Denise Horn, a spokeswoman for the Education Department, said the agency continues to strengthen the federal direct loan program “to ensure all students and families receive the highest quality support from their federal loan servicers.” She added: “Everyone needs to do more to protect student loan borrowers — including servicers — and we’ll continue to take steps to strengthen the program and enhance oversight.” A recent questionnaire by 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.

It’s most likely too late to By Josh Boak A SSOCIAT ED PRE SS Associated Press / File photo 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. fight the bill if you think your property’s valuation is too high.

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. ied more than $45 billion in property taxes in fiscal 2013, according to the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

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 www.beckchapels.com.
