Charles Robert Tufts

Charles Robert “Charlie” Tufts, 33, of Milton, passed away on Sunday November 22 from complications of cystic fibrosis. He was at home and surrounded by his loving family and friends.

Charlie was born on January 14, 1987 in Memphis TN, to Carolyn Virginia (Folger) Tufts. He was raised in Milton, went to Tucker elementary school and spent many days on Lothrop Ave with his brothers and beloved friends from West Milton. In 2005 Charlie graduated from BC High where he made many life-long friends. He studied marketing at UMass-Dartmouth and graduated in 2010.

Charlie was a bright light and inspiration to all who knew him. To say he was funny would be a gross understatement. To say he loved sports does not begin to convey the passion, intensity, and enthusiasm with which he supported his teams, especially the Boston Celtics (he was the self-proclaimed biggest Boston Celtics fan) and the Tennessee Vols.  To say he was courageous does not begin to describe the strength and resilience he displayed over the years as he dealt with the devastating effects of the disease he was born with. He was always determined to live his life as best he could, and he remained resolute and hopeful in the face of the many, many challenges he faced. He was loving to his extensive network of family and friends, and never forgot to say how much he appreciated them and all they did for him. And they all would have gladly given much, much more if he asked (which he very rarely did!).

On his journey throughout the years, he was cared for with deep love, respect, and devotion by the brilliant and passionate teams of doctors, nurses, and other specialists at Mass General’s cystic fibrosis, infectious disease, and lung transplant clinics, to whom his family will be forever grateful.

Charlie was a fierce advocate for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a passion instilled in him and his brothers by his mother. In addition to attending the annual CF fund-raising walks, Charlie started a softball tournament which successfully raised tens of thousands of dollars for the CF Foundation of MA. In honor of his ongoing work for the foundation, Charlie was the 2018 recipient of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Massachusetts’s “Hope in Action Award.”

He is survived by his loving and supportive siblings Peter Tufts and his fiancée Lisa Garvan, Andrew Tufts, Kris Kirkpatrick and Rachael Kirkpatrick. Foster son to Judy Whalen and Dennis Whalen and brother to their children Dennis Whalen, Deborah Anglehart, and Dana McCarron. Charlie is also survived by many loving and devoted relatives: his grandmother, Diane Tufts; his aunts and uncles, Charles and Jane Tufts, Jean Tufts, and Peter Connelly, and Thomas Cotten; his cousins Meredith Tufts, Evan and wife Holly Tufts, Caroline Connelly (his goddaughter), Avery Shea Huffman, and Carolyn Cotten. One of Charlie’s most favorite roles in life was proud uncle. He leaves behind nieces Zoe Reeves, Alexis Kirkpatrick, his goddaughter Zoey Whalen, and nephews Cianan McCarron, Wesley Anglehart, and Theo Tufts. He was a friend to everyone he met and will be missed by a group of dear friends who he was loved by unconditionally and who he loved the same. The love of his remarkable family and friends carried Charlie through many difficult situations, and he loved them deeply.

Charlie is predeceased by his adoring mother, Virginia (Folger) Tufts, and his aunts Varney (Folger) Rannells and Cindy (Folger) Cotten.

Due to the current pandemic, services will be private but it will be recorded and you will be able to view it within the next 24 hrs or so. Based on Charlie’s wishes, there will also be a celebration in 2021 for friends and family when the world is a safer place.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Charlie Tufts to support the caring nurses on Blake 6 at Massachusetts General Hospital or to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of MA/RI.

Lillie M. Morris

At 3:00 am on November 21, 2020, God in His infinite wisdom opened Heaven’s Gates and called His faithful servant home to be at rest in the Lord.

Affectionately known as “Lillie Mae” to her family, friends and acquaintances, she was the quintessence of grace, dignity, and poise, often offering a supporting helping hand to those in need.  Lillie was the first child and first daughter of ten (10) children born to the late Elijah and Ozeal (Scott) Lewis, Sr. on April 4, 1935 in Columbus, Georgia. 

Lillie was educated in the local school system of Columbus, Georgia, attending Radcliffe Elementary School and William Spencer High School.  After graduating high school, Lillie moved to Boston, Massachusetts to attend Boston Hitchcock Business School.  After graduating, Lillie worked for Stavisky, Greeley, Parker and Miller Law Firm and the Massachusetts Courts from which she retired after 25 plus years.

After arriving in Boston, Massachusetts, Lillie Mae was entrusted in her aunts’ and uncles’ care to live with Sallie Smith (William/Bill) and Veola Jordan (Charles), all of whom are deceased and attend business school.  From this time and unto the time of Aunt Veola’s death, Lillie and Aunt Veola had a “mother and daughter bond”.  The special bond between her aunts, especially Aunt Veola brought about a legacy of love, friendship and everlasting traveling buddies.

Lillie met and married the love of her life, Clarence Thomas Morris and to this union, four children were born: Dana (Carl deceased) Tommy (Yukimo), Linda (Francis) and Craig (Noni).  They cared deeply for their family and provided a good life and education to each one.  Lillie was well-read and it was nothing for her to look and research for better opportunities for family and love ones.  This included helping to complete job applications, school/college applications, and resource applications.  She was attentive to details and she would dress you and take you to job interviews.  Lillie assisted and supported-various family, friends neighbors and acquaintances.

Lillie’s favorite past time was eating, cooking for her family, church and friends.  But most importantly were her travels, shopping and dancing.  Lillie loved to dance.  Her greatest dance partner was Michael Lewis, her brother, the youngest and 10th child.  Between his sisters Lillie and Ozeal (Tea), everyone looked forward to their dancing events.

Lillie united with Eliot Congregational Church in 1972, she served as Deaconess, Financial secretary and on the Pastor Aid committee.   Later, she started attending St. Gregory Parrish with her son Tommy and daughter-in-law, Yukiko.  Her belief was strong and mighty.  Her spiritual growth, traveling and cooking continued through her life.

With her health failing, Tommy and Yukiko became caregivers for Lillie.  As a son, Tommy’s care for Lillie is unmeasurable and appreciated by the family.  Also, special thanks to Kenny Hinton (brother-in-law) and Craig (son). Lillie was preceded in death by her parents, Elijah and Ozeal Lewis, brothers-Eddie, James Sylvester, Elijah Jr., Lloyd Benjamin, one sister Ozeal, husband Clarence Morris, and one grandson Paul.  Lillie Lewis Morris leaves to cherish her memory her four children, Dana (Carl),

Tommy (Yukiko), Linda (Francis), Craig (Noni), 13 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.  She leaves 2 sisters- Martha (Joe), Sandra (Vincent), 6 sisters-in-law-Mac Lewis, Catherine Lewis, Ann Lewis, Louise McPherson, Ruth Ann Lee (James deceased),

Margarite Walker (George) one brother, Michael (Michele), Brother-in-law Kenny Hinton (Annette), several cousins, nieces, nephews of whom she had a special with bond with each.  Lillie, we will dearly miss your love and guidance to your children, sisters, sisters-in-laws, brother, brother-in-law and love ones.

May you know that you are forever in our hearts.
