Frey Horgan.  She graduated high school in 1939, and then received a certificate in secretarial science from the Berkley Secretarial School. She worked for American Airlines for over five years, first as a secretary, then in 1943 as a stewardess.

In 1950, Duxbury became their home where they raised three sons. Her favorite pastimes were reading, swimming, antiquing and travel. Retirement sent the couple packing to New Harbor, Maine in 1980.  They wintered in the Orlando area after 1985.
