Dorothy “Dottie” Spires Duncan was born on December 28, 1958, in Sheffield, Alabama. She married her husband, Jimmy Duncan, and gave life to her two daughters and one son, Cathy, Jessica, and Jonathan Duncan.

She was very loving and caring and always made sure that everyone was taken care of.

Despite being ill most of her life, even with the loss of her hearing, she had a very big heart, and it got her through so many hardships in her life. She peacefully passed away on July 18, 2025, and was surrounded by every person that she had cared for and loved.
