Linda Tutak Obituary

Visit the Manns Family Funeral Home - Livonia website to view the full obituary.

Linda E. Tutak, 77 years old, of Wixom, Michigan, went home to be with the Lord on November 19, 2025.

She was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on March 28, 1948 and adopted by Rudolph and Ethel Stehli. She graduated from Lutheran West High School and later continued on to receive a degree from William Tindale College.

Linda married Patrick Tutak on August 10, 1968. They were married 57 years, 3 months and 9 days.

Linda worked at JL Hudson, Tindale College, Walsh College, before becoming the assistant to the Overseas Personnel Director, Dave Loewen, at Send International. Her favorite thing to do in her retirement was working with Dave and keeping other retirees informed about what was happening with Send International and sending them birthday cards. This really kept her busy. As a hobby, she enjoyed sewing and knitting.

Linda is survived by her husband, Patrick; her son, Patrick; her brother-in-law and nieces. She is preceded in death by her brother, John N. Stehli and granddaughter, Olivia.

Services for Linda will be held January 10, 2026 at the GraceWay Bible Church, 28600 Lahser Road, Southfield, MI 48034. Visitation at 10:00 AM with the service at 11:00 AM
