Jean was head of accounting and Chief Morale Officer for the company. She cherished her many friendships including those with her coworkers and business partners. Jean was Past President of the Jacksonville Chapter of Executive Women International and donated her time and resources to many charities. She was a warm, loving, happy person who will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Family members include four children; Victoria Pruitt (Mark) and their children, Jeanie, Daniel, and Andy.

We are never prepared for the departure of a loved one and at this most difficult time it is gratifying to know that relatives and friends share our sorrow and have shown in so many ways that they care. Your acts of kindness and expressions of sympathy have been a tower of strength for us. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida for the wonderful care they provided our Mom. Other local charities Jean supported included the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center and the Jacksonville Humane Society.

Bill and I were deeply saddened when we learned of Jean's passing. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by many.

Jean was an excellent wife and mother. She and Bill complemented each other in many ways. It was obvious that they loved and respected each other and they made a great team. They loved their family very much and were proud of each one of their children and grandchildren.

I will always be grateful to Jean for taking a chance and hiring me way back in 1982. She was an excellent business woman and I learned so much from her during those many years I worked at Crown. I feel very blessed to have known her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May the Lord comfort them as they go through this difficult and sorrowful time.

Jean Tuggle was my very dear, and much loved treasured friend. She was the Matron of Honor at my wedding. We met at Executive Women International, and became lifelong friends. Jean and Bill had a beautiful family and they welcomed me into it. They left their children, Sue, Linda, Vicky and Peter, a wonderful legacy of love. To say they were a loving, beautiful couple is an understatement. They are together again. God's Blessings to their beautiful family. May he guide them through this difficult time. I know each of them will always carry happy memories of their beautiful Mother forever in their hearts. I know I will.

Mrs. Tuggle was truly a beautiful woman. She will be missed. It was always encouraging to see her and Mr. Tuggle at the local eateries, Nemos, Chop Stick Charlies etc...

Mrs. Tuggle was a woman of excellence. We are praying for the family.

I am so sorry to read of Jean's passing. What a beautiful dear lady she was to a lot of people. We were in EWI (Executive Women International) together for years. I knew Bill also. The two were perfect for each other. Jean and I were email buddies for a time. And kept in touch. I am glad that I had the privilege of knowing her. May the Lord comfort your hearts as only He can do. God Bless.

Our Condolences to the Family of Mrs.Tuggle she will be missed by all who knew her and the lives she had touched.I have known her for over 30 years and I adopted myself to the Tuggle Family many years ago.Let me go back quiet a few years when Mr.& Mrs.Tuggle was running the Company.I was in the office doing paper work when Bill stopped and asked if I needed any help.I said no Sir there's nothing to it.Wrong answer as he walked away he mumbled under is breath there's more to it than you think and boy was he right.And on the the other hand when you said something that Jean did not approve of she would give that signature look.You know the one if you knew her that's right she would give that above her eye glass look and believe me I got that look more than once.I will Deeply miss that Lady.And to the family of Jean Tuggle OUR LOVE AND PRAYERS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES. Buster & Tammy McCarthy.
