Kathleen May Duffy of Mooresville, Indiana, passed away on July 10th. She was born on May 7, 1930, to the late Florence and Joseph Kagey. She was married to John Duffy on June 14, 1952.
She was employed as a nurse at Methodist Hospital, the Marion County Public Health Department, and the Northwest Hendricks School Corporation. She desired to serve and encourage others and make them as comfortable as possible. She overcame dysfunctional relationships. She didn’t waste time regretting or not forgiving. She lived life with joy, exuberance, daring to risk experiences such as the Air Force marathon at the age of 69, a hot air balloon ride, 3 trips to Ireland, and a ride in an Indy race car (at 170 miles an hour). She lived a long God-blessed life filled with love of her family and friends. She looked forward to the future, especially with God and Jesus through eternity.
She is preceded in death by her husband, John; grandson, Ryan Norman; son-in-law, Dave Frazier; and sister, Eileen Kagey.
She is survived by her daughters, Kathie Frazier, Karla (Wayne) Norman, and Sharon (Doug) Smither; grandchildren, Tianna (Mark) Upton, Ben Smither, and Andrea Smither; great-grandchildren, Conner and Ashlyn Upton, Kari Smither, and Kasen Brua.

About twenty years ago, I remember Kathleen imparting wisdom to a mother whose teenaged daughter was “spreading her wings” and the mother was stressing. Kathleen calmly shared that the teenage daughter is just trying to decide the woman she will become. My sincere condolences as you celebrate Kathleen’s life and the impact she has had on so many people.
