Patricia Sue Hobgood - Obituary

atricia “Patsy” Sue Hobgood, age 66, of Annapolis, Maryland, passed away peacefully at her home on October 7, 2025, from natural causes. Born on October 30, 1958, in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, Patsy lived a full and joyful life centered around faith, family, and community. She spent 28 wonderful years in Annapolis, raising her three sons and working for Anne Arundel County Public Schools at Rolling Knolls Elementary School. Patsy truly loved working with children—so much so that it was fondly said she knew the name of every child in the county. Before settling in Annapolis, she lived in Chesapeake, Virginia; Charleston, South Carolina; Marlton, Maryland; and Princeton, New Jersey. Wherever she went, she built lasting friendships and created a warm, welcoming home. Patsy had a deep love for cooking and reading, and she was happiest when surrounded by family and friends—especially during backyard pool parties and holiday gatherings. Her warmth, laughter, and ability to make every celebration special will be deeply missed. Patsy was preceded in death by her parents, John Clifford Brown and Margaret “Peggy” Brown, as well as her siblings Steven Brown and Barbara Hanbury. She is survived by her devoted husband of 42 years, David Wayne Hobgood; her three loving sons, Paul Taylor Hobgood, John Clifford Hobgood, and Michael Joseph Hobgood and his wife, Sarah; and her cherished grandsons, Jonah Michael Hobgood and Elijah James Hobgood. Patsy is also survived by her siblings William (Chris) Brown of Bradenton, FL; Michael Brown of Bradenton, FL; Susan Viering of Frankford, DE; Wane Brown of Annapolis, MD; Patrick Brown of Great Mills, MD; and Pamela Slough of Silver Spring, MD. Patsy will be remembered for her kindness, humor, and unwavering love for her family. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
