While Houston businesswoman, beloved matriarch, and noted style icon Marcela Duffy passed away in June 2020, her impeccable elegance and commitment to service long will outlive her 82-year life.

Duffy’s daughters, Jackie Sitton and Chris Henrichsen, recognized the treasure they owned in their mother’s immaculately kept wardrobe. Sharing their mother’s passion for service to the community, they sought a worthy charity that would appreciate Duffy’s well-cared-for clothing. Sitton initially contacted Dress for Success, but the nonprofit was not collecting donations at the time due to the coronavirus pandemic.
