A Celebration of his life will take place at 2 p.m., Saturday, November 30, 2013, in the J.E. Keever Mortuary Chapel of Ennis. Interment will follow in Myrtle Cemetery. Tommy was born in Dallas, Texas, to the late Richard Enos "Jake" and Lottie Frances Mae (Holley) Duckworth. He was the grandson of Damascus Daniel "Dee" and Martha Elmira "Mattie" (Truss) Duckworth, and of Claude and Myrtle Maybell "Mirtie" (Beach) Holley. Tommy attended school in Forney, Texas. At age 15, his first job off his parents' farm was on the Smith Ranch. He also worked as a carpenter with his older brother and later as a painter for another brother for six years. Tommy enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1962. After his honorable discharge in 1968, he was a carpenter contractor for several Dallas based builders, and he and a partner were builders for a time while he lived in Mesquite. On October 19, 1978 he married Valerie Hamilton. Tommy and his family, after living a year in Richardson, moved to Ennis in 1973. Tommy loved to hunt, fish, farm, and raise cattle, and was never happier than when he was outdoors. Tommy was preceded in death by his sisters, Iola Shipley, Lucille Steifer, and Jacqueline Tye; and brothers, J.D., Billy, Morris, and Don Duckworth. Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Valeria Duckworth; children, Denis Duckworth and Dana McGuinness; granddaughters, Danielle Spurlock and Kayle Skinner; great-grandchildren, Braydon and Emma Spurlock; other relatives and many friends.
