Josephine (Josie) Michaela Duckworth
Megan (Solinger) and Walter Duckworth are thrilled to introduce Josephine (Josie) Michaela Duckworth. Megan was born and raised in Cincinnati. She has waited her entire life for this moment and is now a dog mom, a stepmom (s’mom) and a baby’s mom! Josie joins excited half-sisters: Harper and Wakely Duckworth.
Josie’s name is as special as she is. Wally’s maternal grandmother, Josephine, passed away in late 2024. Megan’s maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Joseph and her mom’s middle name is Jo (from Joseph). All nods to dear women! Michaela is the feminine of Michael, which was Megan’s late dad’s middle name.
Proud grandparents are Carol (Selonick) and the late Dr. Alan Solinger of Cincinnati.
She is the great granddaughter of the late Mildred (Midge Joseph) and Edward Selonick and the late Ruth and Frank Solinger, all of Cincinnati. Paternal grandparents are Mary and James Duckworth of Orlando.
Josie came into the world on 8/20/2025 at 18:13. She was 20 inches long and 6lbs 12oz. It was a wild, unique and memorable 24 hours of labor before Josie was born healthy and into the arms of her loving parents.
“I truly couldn’t have done it without my mom, my husband and the epidural,” said Megan. “We are all home, soaking up this newborn baby bliss and adjusting to having a new little love.”
