Renée Danielle Dutko, 46, of Milford, PA, passed away Tuesday, April 7, 2026, at home.

Born on February 28, 1980, in Pompton Plains, NJ, she was the beloved daughter of Myron and Maureen (Cleary) Dutko.

Renée was a deeply loved mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend whose presence could light up any room. She was beautiful, funny, strong, and full of life. A talented artist with a creative spirit, she had a natural ability to bring light and joy into the lives of others. She loved sports, adored her pets, and had a caring heart that showed in the many ways she loved and supported the people in her life.

Those who knew Renée will remember her as one of the strongest and most resilient women they have ever known. Even through the challenges she faced in life, she never stopped pushing forward. She continued to show up for the people she loved with deep emotional strength, always putting others first and being the steady support her family could rely on. Her humor, her honesty, and her love made an everlasting impact that will not be forgotten.

Above all else, Renée’s greatest pride and joy in life was being the mother of her children, Vanessa and Christian. They were her world in every sense—her purpose, her heart, and her legacy. She loved them with a depth that cannot be put into words, and that love will continue to live on through them.

She is survived by her daughter, Vanessa Heath; her son, Christian Dutko; her parents, Myron and Maureen Dutko; and her siblings, Kristen Dutko-Grove, January Barone, Kevin Dutko, and Alexander Dutko. She was a loving aunt and a loyal friend who meant so much to so many.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Vincent DePaul Church, 101 St. Vincent Dr, Milford, PA, on April 18th at 11:00 AM with Rev. Binesh Joseph Kanjirakattu officiating. Following the service, family and friends are invited to join for a gathering with food and refreshments.
