Jeanette Tuffie Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Simpson Funeral & Cremation Services - Monaca from Mar. 17 to Mar. 21, 2026.
Jeanette L. Tuffie, 82 passed away peacefully on Sunday March 15, 2026. Born in Frostburg, Maryland, Jeanette spent the majority of her life in Monaca and most recently made her home in Center Township, Pennsylvania.

She was the loving daughter of the late Charles Dyche and Thelma Dyche Shriner. Her family's roots in Monaca stretched back to 1953.

She is survived by her devoted husband, August J. "Buzz" Tuffie. Their union began on March 14, 1964, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Monaca. Although predeceased by her son, Trent Tuffie, Jeanette's spirit lives on through her son Dean Tuffie and her daughter and son-in-law, Lainie and Benjamin Liptak. Her joy was multiplied with the arrival of her grandchildren, Trent and P.J. Liptak. Jeanette also leaves behind her caring sister, Donna Michael, and her brother, John (Patty) Shriner

A proud graduate of Monaca High School, class of 1962, Jeanette's professional journey was marked by a notable tenure as the Director of Activities for Providence Healthcare Center in Beaver Falls.

She was a longtime member of the Monaca Junior Women's Club and St. John's School PTA while her children were students there. Her service extended to the Beaver County Council of Governments and she also held numerous offices with the American Heart Association, demonstrating her commitment to the well-being of others.

As we mourn the loss of Jeanette L. Tuffie, we also celebrate a life lived with purpose, joy, and an abundance of love.

CANCELLED – DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED PASSING OF MR. AUGUST 'BUZZ' TUFFIE ON FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2026.
