Kim J.

Ducat

Kim J. Ducat, age 63, a resident of Manitowoc, and formerly of Two Rivers, passed away peacefully at her home while surrounded by her family on Sunday, November 8, 2026. After a long, difficult battle with Multiple Sclerosis, Kim is finally at peace and free from the suffering she has endured for so long.

Kim was born on July 24, 1963 in Two Rivers to the late Dale “Charlie” and Rita (Mott) Sittman. After graduating from Washington High School in Two Rivers, Kim went on to attend NWTC where she took classes in nursing and EMS. On May 7, 1988, Kim married Douglas Ducat at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Two Rivers. She had worked as a CNA at Holy Family Memorial Medical Center, but her most recent and favorite job was at Rollaire Skate Center. Kim was a loving mother, grandmother, and one-of-a-kind woman. She lived life on her own terms. Kim had a heart of gold, a stubborn streak a mile long, had a sharp mind, a great sense of humor, and a spirit that could never be broken. Without a doubt, she was a true bad ass!

Above everything else in life, Kim loved being a mother and grandmother. Her family was her entire world. Nothing brought her more happiness than spending time with her children and grandchildren. She loved baking, motorcycles, doing her yard work, and doing her arts and crafts with the kids. Kim was smart, funny, and strong willed. She stood her ground and didn’t back down. Kim lived to make others happy.

Kim leaves behind her husband, Doug; three children, Erica (Jamie) Weina, Tyler (Mykelyn) Ducat, and Josh Ducat; four cherished grandchildren who were the light of her life, Mason, Nevaeh, Skyler, and Ryder; two sisters, Jodi Sittman and Tina Hopka; also many beloved nieces, nephews, and many other relatives and friends. Kim was preceded in death by her parents, Dale and Rita Sittman; beloved son, Adam; brother, Bill; nephew, Terry; and great niece, Sofia.

Special thanks to her sister, Jodi, and niece, Ashli for being there at her side to help. Also, thanks to Aurora Hospice for all their help.

In respect with the family’s wishes, there will be no public visitation or service. Cremation has taken place at the Harrigan Parkside Crematory and Chapel. Online condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.harriganparksidefuneralhome.com
