Brenda Murphy Dugan

Brenda Murphy Dugan, 88, of Naples, Florida and Falmouth, Massachusetts passed peacefully on November 1, 2024, in Newport, Rhode Island.

She was predeceased by Bill Dugan, the love of her life for almost 64 years. She was an amazing mother to her children Brenda (John) Goudy, Bill Dugan Jr, Anne (Jim) Ayars, Deirdre (Lee) Albertson, her grandchildren Laura Ayars, Jimmy Ayars, Madison (Scott) Wells, Parker (Lauren) Goudy, and great grandchildren Bennett and Grayson Wells.

Brenda was born to Joseph and Anna Murphy in 1935. She was a graduate of Notre Dame Academy and Regis College, and worked for IBM until she married Bill in 1958. She was the family center as they moved often for Bill's career, always returning to Falmouth for the summer. She had a very strong faith, and loved golf, traveling, bridge, gardening, volunteering for various organizations, and sharing time with friends (and occasionally dancing on tables!).

She will be interred with Bill at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in a private family service.
