Patricia L. DeChristopher, of Maumee, Ohio, died peacefully at the age of 81, Monday, May 17, 2021 under the care of Hospice of NW Ohio. She was born December 21, 1939 in Toledo, Ohio and was the oldest daughter of Harold and Charlotte Quick. Patricia was a member of the 1957 graduating class of Waite High School. In 1958, she went on to marry Joseph H. Schiavone, and together nurtured and raised two children for the preceding 26 years.

She worked at Jobst Institute for her entire adult life, retiring in 1991. Her employment started with an entry-level position and advanced to become the personal assistant to President/Owner, Caroline Jobst. Pat loved travelling especially to Ft. Meyers and Venice, Florida and eventually she became an annual snowbird. She loved the process of moving, unpacking, packing, and organizing as she moved nearly 30 times after meeting and marrying her second husband of 27 years, John DeChristopher. She loved sewing, quilting, playing cards with family and friends at the Senior Center, volunteering, shopping, gambling and cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes Football team.

She is also survived by sister-in-law, Rosemary Gunner; and brother-in-law, Raymond (Tip Mathews); and several nieces; and nephews.
