Julie Anne Duffy

Julie Anne Duffy of Essex Road in Brinnington, Stockport, a much loved mum of 2 son's and a
daughter, died on arrival at Stepping Hill Hospital after fire crews rescued her unconscious from
her burning house. Luckily her children were not at the house that night.

Julie was a very special person. She was happy, funny and fun loving. Everyone who was close to her
and those that knew her, loved her for her warm, loving nature and her crazy ways. She was a
beautiful and loving person and wouldn't have hurt anyone, so nobody can understand why anyone would
want to hurt her. She could make a total stranger feel as if they had known her forever within a few
minutes of meeting her.

Julie will be very sadly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. All we want now
is for her to rest in peace.

Police and fire crews were called to Essex Road shortly after 3.20am on Thursday 28 September 2006
following reports of a fire, which was believed to have been started between 3am and 3.20am. Two
police officers who arrived first at the scene attempted to get into the house to rescue Julie but
were beaten back by flames.

It is believed that the fire was started in the hallway of the property. Julie and her partner were
upstairs at the time and became trapped in the house after her partner escaped through a small
bedroom window and also suffered serious injuries.
