Jeanette L. Tuffie, 82, passed away peacefully on March 15th, 2026. She was born in Frostburg, Maryland. She spent the majority of her life in Monaca and most recently made her home in Center Township, Pennsylvania. She was a 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 and their union began on March 14th, 1964, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Monaca. Even though she was preceded in death 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. She is also survived by her caring sister, Donna Michael, and her brother, John (Patty) Shriner.

Jeanette was a proud graduate of Monaca High School, class of 1962. Her professional journey was marked by a notable tenure as the Director of Activities for Providence Health and Rehabiliation 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.

Friends will be received on Saturday, March 21st from 12 noon until 3 p.m. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, who was in charge of her arrangements.
