Alice Duffy Obituary

Alice H. (Wells) Duffy, 98, of Lansdale, PA-formerly of Souderton and North Wales-went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Gwynedd Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center. She was the beloved wife of the late Charles Vera and the late William Duffy. Born in McKinley, PA, Alice was the daughter of the late Frank Wells and Barbara (Cathcart) Wells. She attended Cheltenham High School in Wyncote, PA. Throughout her working years, Alice was employed at the former Lansdale Tube Company. She later served as a supervisor at both Plastica in North Wales and Deltron, Inc. in Lansdale. She was also a proud member of the Deltron bowling team. Alice was an active member of the community, particularly at Valley Vista, where she belonged to the Activity Club, coordinated birthday celebrations, and lovingly tended to the flower gardens. A devoted member of Towamencin Mennonite Church in Kulpsville, Alice found great joy in her faith. She loved crocheting lap and baby blankets, making prayer shawls, flower gardening, listening to hymns on the radio, and spending time with her beloved family. She had a lifelong love of bowling, volleyball, and rollerskating, and held a special affection for her dogs: Buttons, Cuddles, Sparky, and Sammy. Alice will be remembered for her hardworking spirit, warm heart, honesty, sense of humor, and her constant desire to create and give to others. She is survived by her two daughters: Dolores Ellen Maxwell of Dillsburg, PA, and Patricia Ann Steich of Sellersville, PA; her four grandchildren: Cassandra Stinger of Perkasie, PA; Martin "Marty" Maxwell and his wife, Teil, of Pittsburgh, PA; Jason Stinger and his wife, Krista, of Bally, PA; and Kathryn Metzger and her husband, Jason, of Franklintown, PA; as well as her nine cherished great-grandchildren. In addition to her parents and husbands, she was preceded in death by her siblings-Elizabeth Lutz, Ralph Wells, and Doris Boreman-and her sons-in-law, James "Jim" Maxwell and Terry Lee Steich. A viewing will be held on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Towamencin Mennonite Church, 1980 Sumneytown Pike, Kulpsville, PA 19443, followed by a funeral service at 11:00 AM. Interment will take place the following day, Thursday, September 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM, at Rose Hill Cemetery, 411 Susquehanna Road, Ambler, PA 19002. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Towamencin Mennonite Church, 1980 Sumneytown Pike, Kulpsville, PA 19443.
