Carrie Tuohy

My husband Tim and I are empty nesters with three grown children, an Accountant, Beautician and Fireman that we are incredibly proud of.  We are members of Community of Christ Lutheran Church and I currently sit on the church council. I am currently an active member of the Pythian Sisters Whitehouse Chapter 312 and I also recently became a member of the Whitehouse Fireman Association. I am looking forward to the many opportunities to help with activities and fundraising in our community.  My husband and I enjoy kayaking, golfing, and spending time with our family and friends. I have even hit the Pickleball Court a time or two, although my skill level is nothing to brag about. I am currently the Controller of Waterville Sheet Metal Co., Inc. and previously I spent 26+ years as the Treasurer/Controller for Duffey Concrete Cutting Inc. I am excited to be part of the Council and I feel that my professional background and experience will be beneficial in allowing me to be a voice that the community needs. I want to make sure I represent the transparency you have asked for.  I can be reached at 419-276-1791 and ctuohy@whitehouseoh.gov.
