Lorraine Elsie (Tuttle) Day, age 79, of Cass Lake, Minnesota began her spiritual journey on March 20, 2017 from Sanford Hospital in Bemidji, MN.  She was born in Cass Lake, MN on January 2, 1938 to James “Scotty” and Mary (Dufault) Tuttle.

Lorraine enjoyed going shopping, sometimes for hours.  She liked going to the powwows to listen to the music and eat a lot of frybread and watch everyone dance.  While frybread was one of her favorite, her most favorite thing to eat was gum and chocolate.  Lorraine really enjoyed going for rides.  She absolutely loved to laugh and crack jokes with others and could talk your ear off.  She will be dearly missed.

Lorraine is welcomed to the spirit world by her parents; Scotty and Mary Tuttle, son; Clifford Day, Jr., brothers; James and Melvin Tuttle, grandson; David Raisch-Day and ex-husband; Clifford Day, Sr.

Those she leaves behind to cherish her memory are her sons; Ronald (Earlene Ogema) Day, Sr. and Donald “Donny” Tuttle both of Cass Lake, grandchildren; Alicia Day, Ronald Day, Jr., Clifford, Marcus and Denise Croaker, 11 great grandchildren, nephews; Jim and Bill Tuttle and many other friends and relatives.
