Patricia A. DeClue

Patricia Ann DeClue was born on January 25, 1930 to Violet and Norman Johnson and passed away peacefully on December 10, 2020 at Charlestown Retirement Community, in Catonsville Maryland. She was the oldest of 6 siblings and was preceded in death by her sisters Mary Jo Dickey, Bernadette Fossler, Violet Curry, and brother Norman Johnson. She is survived by Kathleen Jones and Christine Mech. She was the loving wife of the late Calvin W. DeClue, and together they had 5 children: Patricia A. Neat, Stephen E. DeClue, Linda M. McMahon, Carol D. Riley and Elizabeth E. Wintersteen. She had 16 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

Patricia was a resident of Catonsville for 70 years. She was a devoted Catholic and attended St. Mark and St Agnes Churches where she taught Sunday School.

Patricia was a kind, warm, and generous person who loved to travel and had an adventurous spirit. She loved big band music, dancing, and a good party! Her laughter will be missed.

She enjoyed watching the Orioles, the Colts and even attended a few Ravens games.

Patricia was a resident of Charlestown for 7 years where she enjoyed volunteering her time for the church and the treasure sale. She was loved by her friends and was a welcoming presence to those around her.

The most fulfilling part of her life, she often said, was raising her children. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, and grandmother and was the happiest when she was with her family.

Because of COVID-19 related restrictions, there will be a private Mass of Christian burial at Our Lady of Victory. For those wishing to view the Mass, please visit https://youtu.be/7GGqKHOSVqs . Interment will take place at Garrison Forest Veteran’s Cemetery. Although we grieve her loss, we know she has gone to be with her husband, her earthly parents, and her Heavenly Father.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in memory of Patricia to St. Jude Children’s Hospital https://www.stjude.org/donate/donate-to-st-jude.html
