Donna Tuttle Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mio, Michigan
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at MyMichigan Medical Center in West Branch, Michigan. At 56 years young, Donna's vibrant spirit and zest for life touched everyone who knew her.
Born on November 8, 1968, in Toledo, Ohio, to James Dean and Dorothy C. (Ford) Walters, Donna graduated from Summerfield High School in Petersburg, Michigan in 1987. On August 27, 1988, she married the love of her life, R. Gregory "Greg" Tuttle, Sr., who survives her.
Donna was a well-known and award-winning auctioneer, owning and operating Lets Talk Auction Company in Mio, Michigan, with her husband Greg for over 30 years. She was a dedicated member of the Michigan Auctioneers Association for more than 20 years and a cherished member of New Hope Assembly of God Church in Mio.
Donna's passions included traveling, camping in her motorhome, and spending time relaxing in the Upper Peninsula. She loved rock hunting and collecting from state to state, living a holistic lifestyle as a proud organic gardener. Her health and vitality were evident in everything she did.
Above all, Donna adored spending time with her grandson Noah, who was the light of her life. Her love for her family and friends was boundless, and her memory will be forever cherished by all who knew her.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband Greg, four children: R. Gregory Tuttle, Jr., Matthew James Tuttle, Bethany Jean (Josh) Brubaker and Jaycee Megan Tuttle (Peter Watson), grandson Noah Tuttle, her father James Dean Walters, brother Bo Walters and sisters: Cindy Walters, Amy Walters, and Shelly Waid. Donna was predeceased by her mother Dorothy Walters.
Per Donna's wish, cremation will take place. A Celebration of her life is being planned for this summer. More details will be posted when the day and time are set. Final arrangements were entrusted to Squires Funeral Home, 211 N. Henry Street, Bay City, MI 48706. Please visit squiresfuneralhome.com to share a story, photo, or expression of sympathy to Greg and the family on Donna's Tribute Wall of her obituary.
