Patsy Ann "Pat" McCallister

Patsy Ann "Pat" McCallister, age 81, of Bear, DE, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, April 11, 2026.

Born in Wilmington, DE on May 18, 1944, she was a daughter of the late Albert Franklin and Inez Marie (Rose) Gray. Pat was a graduate of Conrad High School. She enjoyed being a stay at home mom to raise her 3 children. Once her children started school, Pat worked for various professions. Having a passion for children, she later opened her own daycare with her daughter, Sheri, where she loved taking care of every child she had the pleasure of teaching. She eventually became an auditor for other daycare centers in New Castle County. Her love for children was immense.

Pat was fortunate to be able to retire early to do the things she enjoyed most: frequent visits to the beach, long road trips travelling the country with her loving husband, and spending time with her family and friends. Her love for the Lord was abundant. Whether it was life's trials or joyful celebrations, Pat never missed an opportunity to thank the Lord for her many blessings. She was a deeply compassionate, loving soul and dedicated to her faith as a member of Middletown Baptist Church. Pat now rests in eternal hands of her loving God.

In addition to her parents, Pat was preceded in death by her daughter, Sheri Fulmer; son-in-law, William Fulmer; and sister, Alberta Dougherty. She is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, Gary "Mac" McCallister; sons, Chuck George (Karen) and Matthew George, Sr.; stepdaughter, Becki Raspe (Dennis); sister, Nancy Munzert; 10 grandchildren; and several great-grandchildren.

A visitation for family and friends will be held from 10 am until 11 am on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 1000 North DuPont Parkway, New Castle, DE, where a funeral service will begin at 11 am. Interment will follow in Gracelawn Memorial Park, 2220 North DuPont Highway, New Castle, DE.
