Francis Patrick "Pat" Woerner

Francis Patrick Woerner, 52, of Hockessin, DE, passed away on April 13, 2024. He was born on December 10, 1971, in Wilmington, DE.

Pat was a very proud resident of the State of Delaware and a devoted fan of the University of Delaware Blue Hens. He graduated from Middletown High School, Class of 1990 and honorably served in the Army National Guard.

Pat was a Licensed Practical Nurse at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Wilmington, DE, for over 30 years. He was a dedicated healthcare professional who made a difference in the lives of many.

He will be deeply missed by his wife, Erin Woerner; his son, Callahan Woerner; his mother & step-father, Maryanne & Dave Townsend; his father & step-mother, Francis & Lynn Woerner; his sister & brother-in-law, Melissa & Alan Caldwell; his niece & her husband, Amber & Stephen Galloway, and their daughter Savannah; his nephew, Austin Caldwell; his aunts & uncles, Maggie Bartoli, Jack Volk, Marty & Reenie Volk, Marie & Richard Beldyk, John & Elaine Woerner, Peggy Mergo, and Aloysius Woerner & wife Kathy Tierno, and Jean Woerner; his sister-in-law, Krissie Callahan; his brother-in-law, Brian Callahan; and many cousins.

Along with his beloved Blue Hens, Pat was also an avid Phillies & Eagles fan, but most of all, he loved cheering on his son, Callahan, at his swim meets. He also enjoyed spending time reading, was a big Star Wars fan, and could solve any Rubik’s cube placed in front of him.
