THEA DUELL Obituary
After a courageous fight against cancer, Thea Duell passed away with grace and dignity on June 27, 2018 in her home overlooking the ocean in Greenwich, CT. A regal woman who was a prolific painter and sculptor for over forty years, Thea was also the only female lawyer at the prestigious Morgan, Lewis & Bockius law firm in Philadelphia, a lifelong patron of many causes, and the cornerstone of the family real estate business in NYC for three decades up until her passing; she was a true renaissance woman and the matriarch of the Duell family. Even in her final days, Thea had poise, wit, joie de vivre, and a timeless grace. The family suggests contributions to the Lung Cancer Alliance or The MSA Coalition in Thea's honor.

Dear Ben and family,
We knew your sister was living on the Byram shore very near us so we understood very quickly that the both of you were very loving siblings. Thea was a beautiful and highly dedicated woman to family, the arts and philanthropy. We offer our sincerest condolences and will miss having you and your kind and thoughtful sons as neighbors.
