Heather Renea Tuttle

Heather Renea Tuttle, known to those closest to her as "Honey” or “Duckie” passed away on April 23, 2026, at the age of 53 after a courageous battle with aggressive lymphoma. Born on October 13, 1972, in Nashville, Tennessee, Heather spent her life rooted in the community she loved, calling Donelson, Tennessee, home. Heather was the kind of person who never met a stranger. With her beautiful smile and infectious sense of humor, she could light up any room and make anyone feel like they had known her for years. She loved with her entire heart, and that love extended not just to the people in her life but to every living creature she encountered. If she found a stray animal, she was bringing it home, no questions asked. Her family learned early on that Heather's heart was simply too big to leave anything or anyone behind. For over 30 years, Heather built a remarkable career in banking, where she became known not only for her professional dedication but also for her commitment to mentoring others. She took genuine joy in helping people grow, whether in their careers or in their personal lives. That spirit of service carried over into her community involvement with the Dreams and Wishes and Women of Worth, both being causes that she believed in . In 2018, Heather married her soulmate Misty and shared the devotion to each other and their children in front of many family and friends , with the same warmth and devotion she brought to everything else. She was honored to be the only daughter of her loving mother Faye whom loved her with her entirety and devoted her life to raise Heather as a single parent , along with the help of Genevieve and Johnnie Jones . She was a proud and loving mother to her daughter, Rachel Molock-Tuttle, and her sons, Joshua, Asher, and Jackson Molock-Tuttle. Perhaps her greatest joy in recent years, though, was being "Duckie" to her grandchildren, Cohen and River. She wore that title with tremendous pride and endless affection. When Heather wasn't working or giving her time to others, you could find her coloring , sitting around a bonfire with people she loved, listening to classic country music, or relaxing at the lake house. Those simple pleasures meant the world to her, and the memories made in those moments will be treasured by everyone who shared them with her. Heather was preceded in death by her father, Leonard Mack Tuttle; her grandparents, Genevieve and Johnnie Jones; and her aunt, Barbara Knight. She is survived by her wife Misty Molock , her mother, Ellen Faye Tuttle; sisters , Misty Kimble ,Ashley Hudgins ,her daughter, Rachel Molock-Tuttle; her sons, Joshua, Asher, and Jackson Molock-Tuttle; and her beloved grandchildren, Cohen and River, along with countless friends and extended family members whose lives she touched. Heather held a quiet faith that grounded her, and her family takes comfort in knowing she is at peace and reunited with those who went before her. A memorial service will be held at Phillips-Robinson Funeral Home on May 16th from 2:00 to 6:00, followed by the celebration and party that Heather herself wanted. The location for the celebration will be announced. Because that was Heather, always making sure people had a good time, even when she couldn't be there to host it herself. Her family will miss her tremendously and will help carry on her memory and the love that she showed everyone. If “ “Honey” taught us anything, it is that a warm smile, a big heart, and a willingness to help can change the world, one person at a time.
