Theresa Duff Obituary
Published by Legacy on Apr. 21, 2025.
Theresa M. Duff, a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away on April 17, 2025, at the age of 60. Born on November 12, 1964, Theresa lived a vibrant and fulfilling life filled with love, adventure, and devotion to her family.
Theresa grew up in Bensalem, where she graduated from Bensalem High School as part of the class of 1982. During her time there, she was an integral part of the cheerleading squad, ultimately serving as Captain during her senior year. Her journey through life took her from Cinnaminson, New Jersey, to Reston, Virginia, before she returned to Runnemede, New Jersey, to be near her cherished grandchildren.
Theresa's life was marked by resilience and strength. In her thirties, she experienced substantial vision loss, yet she navigated this challenge with grace and determination, relying on her acute awareness and unfaltering spirit. Her warmth and kindness endeared her to all who knew her, making her an extraordinary wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.
A passionate traveler, Theresa explored more countries than states, navigating the world with the assistance of her white cane, always eager to experience the best each destination had to offer. She was a devoted sports fan with a particular affinity for the Phillies, Eagles, Buffalo Bills, and Washington Nationals. Her love for music spanned genres, but she held a special place in her heart for grunge, alternative, and modern rock.
Her story of love began on the first day of summer in 1982 when she met her husband, Ken Duff, in the ocean at Wildwood, New Jersey. Their marriage blossomed into a beautiful partnership that spanned 41 years. Ken often remarked, "Met the right girl early," a testament to their enduring bond.
Theresa is survived by her loving husband Ken Duff; her daughter Kristen Morrow and son-in-law Justin Morrow; and her treasured grandsons Owen, Declan, and Mason Morrow. She is also survived by her dear Shih Tzu, Feebi-Lu, who brought her great joy. Theresa was preceded in death by her son, Kenneth R. Duff.
Theresa's family will announce the details of her services at a later date. Friends and loved ones are encouraged to check the website for updates regarding the arrangements.
In remembering Theresa M. Duff, we honor a life well-lived, filled with love, laughter, and unwavering courage. She leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories and an indelible mark on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

I remember Theresa fondly. She lived near me and we would ride the bus to and from school. I remember her cheerleader days. We would speak off and on over the years that followed. Prayers to her family on her loss. She will be missed.
