Patricia Jean DiNorma

July 3, 1947 - October 18, 2021

On Monday, October 18, 2021, at age 74, Patricia Jean (McElligott) DiNorma of Alexandria, VA, passed away peacefully with family by her side. She is survived by her husband Gerald (Jerry), her two sons, Scott (Elizabeth), of Woodbridge, VA, Jason, of Alexandria, VA, her daughter, Micah Lubeck (Brett) of Springfield, VA, brothers Maurice (Mick) McElligott of Fairport, NY, and Frank McElligott of Plano, TX, and her four grandchildren, James and Michael DiNorma, and Henry and Audrey Lubeck. Patty was born in Rochester, NY to Maurice McElligott and Mary Kathleen McElligott. She had nine brothers and sisters and was the youngest of five girls. In 1968 Patty and Jerry married and left Rochester for San Diego as Jerry started his Navy career. Over the years the family also lived in Newport, RI, Long Beach, CA, Norfolk, VA, San Diego (again), and finally settled in the Alexandria suburbs of Washington, DC. Strong family ties always reminded her that Rochester was home, but as her own family grew and grandchildren were born, her roots became Alexandria. With family members spread all over the country, Patty always felt very blessed that she was able to live near and be a part of the lives of her children and grandchildren, and she will be remembered most for the pride and joy she derived from them. A memorial service to celebrate Patty’s life will be held at the Jefferson Funeral Chapel, 5755 Castlewellan Dr., Alexandria, VA, 22135, from 12:00 to 2:00 pm (visiting hour followed by service at 1:00 pm) on Saturday, November 6, 2021.
