Donald Tutton
September 17, 1941 – December 2, 2025

Donald Tutton, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, teacher, and coach, passed away peacefully on December 2, 2025. He was born in Folsom, Pennsylvania, on September 17, 1941, to the late Norman Tutton and Ruth Tutton (Warne). He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Judy Tutton (Gordanier); his sons Scott (Jen) and Daryl (Sandy); his brother Paul (Sandy); and three cherished grandchildren.

Don spent his life dedicated to education and athletics, shaping generations of students both in the classroom and on the field. He taught and coached in the Ridley School District for 35 years, and later continued his calling at Delaware County Christian School for 18 years. His passion for teaching, mentoring, and encouraging young people left a lasting legacy in the community. In recognition of his impact, Don was inducted into the Ridley Old Timers Hall of Fame in 2009.

A lifelong resident of Delaware County, Don made his home in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, where his presence was marked by kindness, faith, and an unwavering commitment to his family and community. He will be remembered for his devotion to his loved ones, his steadfast character, his ability to inspire those around him, and his love of sports which included Eagles season tickets since 1963.

Services for Donald will be announced at a later date.
