Sept. 15, 1934 — Dec. 31, 2023
Patricia “Patty” Duggan passed away peacefully in her Ashland home at the age of 89.
Patty was a graduate of Kansas University and the University of Missouri at Kansas City. She was an elementary school teacher in Kansas while rearing her three daughters. She and her husband moved to Ashland in 1989.
Patty was predeceased by her beloved husband of 54 years, John, and by her parents, Libby and Kenny Worcester. Survivors include her daughters Diane Seidule, Nancy Honkomp and Janette Hahka and three grandchildren.
In her retirement, Patty and her mother designed, made and sold women’s garments through a local store. She crocheted and knitted many warm items and donated them to local organizations. She also created fabric art wall hangings. One of her greatest joys was her daily nature walks on the pathways of the Rogue Valley.
Patty was member of the Rogue Valley Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship.
