Catherine Mary Delevan of Elizabethtown, formerly of Clarks Summit, died Friday morning at Masonic Village in Elizabethtown. Her husband of 40 years, Glenn W. Delevan Sr., died in July 1982.
Born Dec. 9, 1920, in Scranton, she was the daughter of the late Gwilym? and Jane "Jenny" Jones. She was a graduate of Scranton Technical High School. She was appreciated for being a stay-at-home mom before working as a maid at Nichols Village in Clarks Summit. She was a member of Waverly United Methodist Church and past president and member of Clarks Summit VFW, Abington Memorial Ladies Auxiliary.
Catherine was known for her beautiful singing voice that she mastered through stage and chorus productions at North Scranton Junior High School and Dr. Jones Memorial Church choir. Lovingly remembered by all who crossed her path as "Nanny," Catherine's greatest pleasures were her family and friends, spending time laughing, singing, and enjoying her children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The family wishes to thank the entire staff of Masonic Villages and Ever Care, Elizabethtown, and all her precious caregivers over the past five years who took such phenomenal care of our mother when we weren't able to be with her. You hold a special place in our hearts and memories of mom.
Surviving are three sons, Glenn Delevan and wife, Marian; Robert Delevan and companion, Richard Fellows; and David Delevan and wife, Nancy; a daughter, Kathy Menichiello and companion, Craig Nicholof; 10 grandchildren, David W. and Glenn W. III Delevan; Kelly Delevan-Williams, Rob Delevan, Jennifer Yerico, Julie, Dave and Nathan Delevan; Michael Menichiello and Maria Kamora; eight great-grandchildren, Roy, Blake, Amanda and Maddie Delevan; Meegan and Ryder Yerico; Max Jake and Evan Kamora; several nieces and nephews.
She was also preceded in death by a brother, Glyndwr Jones; and a sister, Elizabeth Jones Thorpe.
The funeral will be Tuesday, 11 a.m., from the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit, with services by the Rev. Barbara Snyder, pastor of Waverly United Methodist Church. Interment will follow in Abington Hills Cemetery, S. Abington Twp.
