Evelyn 'Faye' Duffy

Our family joins together to say goodbye to our dear mother, Evelyn Fay Duffy. Married for 69 years, she joins her husband, Mathew, who died seven years ago.
She was an avid Charlie Pride fan and first got to know him while living in East Helena, Montana.
When Mathew decided to go out as an independent truck driver, she got her commercial drivers license and joined him as a driving partner. They crossed the U.S. many times.
For many years she was a choir member at St. Ambrose Catholic Church and she and Mathew developed many friendships.
She loved her home and had many family gatherings from holidays to summertime pool-side parties.
Evelyn is survived by her two sisters: Jeanine and Jackie, her six children: Bev (Arizona), Patty (Utah), Peggy (Washington), Vicky(Utah), Tom (Utah), and Kim, husband Mike (Utah), eleven grandchildren; Nick, Jerod, Josh and Chad, Brittney, Zach, Brady, Kyley, Mathew, Elizabeth and Jake, many great grandkids as well as many nieces and nephews.
She is Preceded in death by her Husband Mathew (Tom) Duffy, her parents, her sister Mary, son-in-laws: Stewart Johnson, Art Pitman and Layne Frehner.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, July 14, 2022 at 1:00 pm at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, 1929 South 2300 East, Salt Lake City. She will be laid to rest at Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, 4th Avenue “T” Street, Salt Lake City. Friends and family are invited to a small reception at the Duffy Residence, following the services at 3080 South 2900 East, Salt Lake City.
In Loving Memory
I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed by everyone that knew her. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of Aunt Faye and Uncle Tommy stopping by and visiting us when they were in the East Helena area. And of course, the numerous cousins and second cousins that would visit Montana. Whether it was just stopping by for a quick visit, or spending longer periods of time here...visits were something to be anticipated and looked forward to. My sincerest Condolences to everyone she left behind, coupled with a complete sense of peace knowing she is with Uncle Tommy now, and that she will always remain in our hearts and continue to watch over everyone.

My sympathy to your family. Faye and I were friends for many years at church and in the choir. I was not able to attend her Mass, but she is in my prayers
