Jacqueline Duran Obituary

Milford, PA

Jacqueline Duran, 78, of Milford, PA and formerly of New Milford, NJ, passed away Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at home. She was retired from the Mortgage Department, Chase Bank in New Jersey.

The daughter of the late Cecil and Dolores Hayes Treadway, she was born December 14, 1930 in Chicago, IL. She was married to the late Faust Duran.

Survivors include three children: Robert Duran and his wife, Suzanne of Montague, NJ, Richard Duran and his wife, Pat Sanders of Chicago, IL and Donna Seekamp and her husband, Tim of Dingmans Ferry, PA and three grandchildren: Shannon Cassidy Duran, Ariana Maria Duran and Brendan Duran.

A family statement reads: "Jackie loved being a mother and grandmother. Her passions were painting, gardening, reading and sewing Halloween costumes for her grandchildren. Mondays were dedicated to her art class. She always looked forward to Mondays - it just wasn't about the painting, it was also about friendship. Spending time with this group of women brought her strength. Our mother always said if you could count your friends on one hand, you were lucky, then we have to say she was extremely lucky. She would need to use both hands and her toes too! To a wonderful mother and friend; we love you and will miss you. We will always cherish your unconditional love for us. We will never forget those beautiful blue eyes and your smile. With all our love, Rest in Peace."

Family will receive friends at Stroyan Funeral Home, 405 West Harford St., Milford, PA on Saturday, January 24, from 12-3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice St. John, 416 Main St., Honesdale, PA 18431.
