Susie K. Duff's Obituary
Susie Katherine Duff (née Taylor), known affectionately as Sue, entered into eternal rest on the 23rd of May 2024, at the age of 90 in Dunedin, Florida. Born on the 28th of November 1933 in Middletown, Ohio, Sue was a woman of grace and dedication, committing her life to the care and love of her family.
United in marriage to the late Lawrence P. Duff for 65 years, Sue was a devoted wife and mother. Before her role as a dedicated homemaker, Sue was an employee at Armco Steel in her hometown of Middletown.
In 1972, Sue and her family relocated to Pinellas County, Florida. Sue’s career pathway led her from a typist for an engineer to roles at St. Paul Title Insurance Company and subsequently 32 years at First American Title Insurance Company. There, her responsibilities burgeoned from typist, accountant and eventually to personnel manager before she retired in 2008.
Known for her steadfast love and nurturing support, Sue was the cornerstone of her family. Her legacy is one of devotion and gentle kindness, qualities that are indelibly etched in the lives of those fortunate enough to have known her.
Predeceased by parents George Taylor and Jewell (Moore) Taylor, sisters Esther Jones, Pauline Stamper and Violet Manns.
Survived by her son, Mark Duff; Her loving daughter and daughter in law, Paula Duff and Rae Ellen Rourke; and sisters Geraldine Howell and Maxine Schneider.
She will be forever in our memories and heart.
The family will announce details of a celebration of Sue’s life in due course. In remembrance of Sue, and in lieu of floral tributes, the family suggests donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, a charity that held a special place in her heart.
