Kevin Earl Tuthill

SHARON — Kevin Earl Tuthill passed away unexpectedly on July 21, 2021, at Durham-Hensley Health & Rehabilitation, in Afton, Tenn., at the age of 67.

Kevin, a former resident of Sharon, was a recently retired employee of Kimberly-Clark in New Milford, Conn.

He was a member of the United Methodist Church, as well as a veteran of the U.S. Navy.

Kevin is survived by two sons and one daughter, Peter Tuthill and wife Kelly Tuthill, Benjamin Tuthill and Sarah Visconti and husband Darren Visconti.

He was also a proud grandfather to his four grandchildren, Eli Tuthill, William Tuthill, Scarlett Visconti and Sienna Visconti.

Kevin was also survived by his loving brothers and sisters, Robert and Janet Tuthill of Sutton, Vt., Gary and June Tuthill of Sharon, Eugene and Elinor Tuthill of Greeneville, Tenn., Karen Geisseler of Millerton and Audrey and Lee Garay of Sharon; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

In remembrance of Kevin’s love of stargazing we can choose to believe that, “Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through, and shines down to let us know they are happy.”

Condolences may be sent to the family at www.kiserrosehillfuneralhome.com.

SHARON ­— Whether it’s in her professional work or her community volunteerism, Thalia MacMillan strives to advocate for others. She developed that instinct from her many family members who also have the same calling.

Many in the region know her dad, Stanley MacMillan, who served for decades as a building inspector and fire marshal. Her mother, Grace Kandefer, was a longtime nurse at Sharon Hospital. Both were active volunteer first responders. Her brother Stanley MacMillan, Jr., is a member of the Sharon Fire Department.

Sharon plans replacement of West Cornwall Road bridge

SHARON — The Board of Selectmen and Planning & Zoning Commission have approved new plans to replace the West Cornwall Road bridge over Pine Swamp Brook, just south of the historic covered bridge over the Housatonic River in West Cornwall.

The project has been in the works for three years after a survey determined that the structure was nearing the end of its intended life-span. After passing the P&Z commission, the project now only needs approval from four property owners near the site to begin the bidding process.
