Patricia Lee McDuffie

Patricia Lee Namanny McDuffie, lovingly known as Pat, passed away on September 11, 2026, at Tift Regional Medical Center in Tifton, Georgia. She was born on October 9, 1949, in Tifton, Georgia, and lived in Tift County all of her life.

A Memorial service will be held at 2:00 P.M. on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at Albritton Funeral Directors with Rev. Donnie McDuffie officiating. The family will receive friends from 12:30 to 1:30 P.M. at the funeral home before the service.

Pat graduated from Tift County High School and later earned her associate degree from ABAC. She went on to build a meaningful career as a registered nurse, serving with dedication at Tift Regional Medical Center, Navient, Phoebe Putney, and in travel nursing. Nursing was not simply her profession, but a reflection of her caring spirit and her commitment to helping others.

She was also deeply rooted in faith. In her younger years, Pat was a member of the Assembly of God, where she was very involved in her church. Her life was marked by devotion to both family and community, and she found great joy in spending time with those she loved most. She especially loved gathering with her family and cooking for them, creating memories around the table that will be treasured for years to come.

Pat is survived by her children and their families: Donnie McDuffie and Holly, Lee McDuffie and Misty, and Malcolm Weeks and Sulastri. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Gavin McDuffie, Chloe McDuffie, Will Luke and Ciara, Jason Weeks, Sophie Weeks, Carol Weeks, Brandon Weeks and Kayla Sprague, as well as her great-grandchildren, Ollie Luke and Olivia Luke. The love she shared with her family was a defining part of her life, and her presence will remain a lasting blessing to all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Donald McDuffie; her father, Fred Namanny; and her mother, Bernice Gray.

Special thanks to caregivers, Caitlyn Harper and Mary Williams.
