She graduated from St. Mary's Academy in O'Neill, NE. After graduation she moved to Gordon, NE to be closer to her sister Helen.
There she met her lifelong partner Jim Alworth. They were married May 14-19600 and celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary.
Tuts and Jim spent over 20 years working on the Rush Creek ranches in Gordon, Lisco, and Angora. They moved to Longmont, CO for a year and missed Nebraska's Good Life so they moved back to north of Oshkosh.
Her first job was telephone operator in Gordon. Once she married she became a rancher's wife, cooking, working in the hayfield, helping calve etc. She also worked at Oshkosh Superette, Cabela's and Fashion Bar in Longmont, CO, Home Health and nursing home in Oshkosh.
She loved her job doing activities at the nursing home and the residents loved her.
She was a CNA and did in home care until she became ill.
Tuts could be found timing at the many roping or cooking burgers at her concession stand. She never missed a roping Jim was in or a high school rodeo she hauled her kids to.
She was always know for her singing, weather she was home, leading the group at the nursing home or singing her Irish tunes during St. Patty's celebration.
