Obituary for Jayneen Louise "Jay" Duffy (Clapsadle)
Chester, West Virginia - Jayneen L. Duffy, 68, of Maxwell Avenue passed away Friday, January 17, 2020 at 12:30 PM at East Liverpool City Hospital following a sudden illness.
Born April 29, 1951, she was the daughter of the late Harry J. and Mary C. Hague Clapsadle. A lifetime area resident, except for a brief period living abroad in Pennsylvania, she was retired from the First Energy Company after working 32 years as a microfilm processor.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her half-brother, Dallas Morris
Jayneen will be missed by her family and friends. Her intellect and sense of humor were well-liked by her friends and family and feared by everyone else. Jayneen possessed the Clapsadle wit of her father and was a formidable adversary in any debate, which served her well in her role as Union Steward in IBEW Local 29. Jayneen enjoyed her active role in the union and thumbing her nose at authority in general.
Jayneen played by her own rules and was uncompromising and unapologetic about her ideals and REALLY UNAPOLOGETIC regarding perceived slights against family or friends.
Jayneen’s family is honoring her request for no public services to be held, although she would appreciate an authentic Viking send-off. Unfortunately, it is impossible to get a permit for a ceremony where she is surrounded by the weapons of slain enemies in a flaming canoe.
Jayneen is survived by her daughter, Melanie Duffy of Chester; and her son, Joshua Duffy and his wife Jennifer, of Boardman. There are five granddaughters, Jenna Tate, Ava Tate, Dakota Tate, Hannah Duffy and Rebecca Duffy (and yes, it was deliberate that their names all end alike).
Burial will be in Riverview Cemetery where a private family service will be held.
The Dawson Funeral Home is in charge of all local arrangements.
