Know Thy Neighbor ~ The Duffs

Cathy and George.Duff

The newest homeowners in Woodland Hills Subdivision are George and Kathy Duff. They purchased the Windham home on the corner of Dogwood Circle and Ridgewood Drive, and moved into it in January ’19, after making a few modifications to the interior.

Kathy said she and George had been helping their daughter and son-in-law shop for a home in Pontotoc, when a friend told her discreetly of a house that would soon be on the market. Without knowing the location or the owner of the house and only that it had a pool and a pool house and that it was in a subdivision, Kathy drove around various neighborhoods and concluded the house her friend had mentioned was the one in Woodland Hills. Soon George Duff and Wally Windham formed a gentleman’s agreement and sealed it with a handshake to begin the formal transition of ownership.

George describes his career as one in sales, “It’s easier to say, I’m in sales than explain the many businesses I’m involved with.”

George and Kathy are business partners with Tommy and Anita Wood and Anthony and Brenda Aaron in the company called BK Wireless and have several Select Retail Stores with Cspire, including the Pontotoc location. George also dabbles in furniture sales.

Kathy is co-owner of Martin Cardboard Co., Pontotoc, Mississippi, and is church pianist at Green Valley Baptist Church, Pontotoc.

George and Kathy are active members of Green Valley Baptist Church. Kathy is quick to let you know she loves Jesus, something one would easily pickup on in conversation without being told. Jesus may be in her heart, but He shines through her personality.

The Duffs have three children, Jarrod, Amanda, and Kasey, all by previous marriages, and a total of seven grandchildren with one more expected to arrive soon. As for pets, George and Kathy have beautiful white and gold tomcat they call Tigger. Tigger plans to keep his territory free of pests such as moles and raccoons, or the occasional stray feline.

Both Duffs enjoy healthy eating. George stills drinks a product by LIMU, daily, and Kathy, the more health-food conscious of the two, is extremely careful of what she eats and drinks. She avoids processed foods and sugars, eats only beef that is grass fed, and purifies her water with home filtration systems that remove all additives. Additionally, Kathy visits a nutritionist in Florence, Alabama.

For fun, they enjoy games with friends; one in particular is called Dirty Marbles. Domino’s is also a favorite game that even their grandchildren enjoy.

George recalls the family vacations he went on as a child, which were basically Dental Conventions on the Gulf Coast that his father attended.

“So, once a year, we got to go the beach,” he remembered.

These days, George and Kathy enjoy occasional trips to the beach but have no plans to purchase any beachfront property. Their favorite beach is Santa Rosa, south of Destin, Florida.

They are thrilled to be a part of our homeowners association and hope, according to Kathy, this will be their forever home, at least on this side of Heaven.

Stop by sometime just to say Hi; it’ll make your day.
