Life story
Jaide was a warrior with a child-like heart. She never stopped looking for her brother Jimmy, James Duffy Jr, who went missing in October 1973, before Jaide turned one. Her lifelong mission was to find him, and help any child, veteran, animal or person who needed help. She embodied the quote “Be the person you needed.”
She survived many traumas, and continued to find and see the positive in situations and people. She loved the outdoors, animals, and kids. They loved her too.
