Hollomon-Brown FH September 2024
Patricia Lordeon-Hough passed away peacefully at her home in Norfolk, Virginia, 
on September 20th, 2024, after a hard-fought battle with pancreatic cancer. One 
of six siblings, Patty and her twin brother, Michael, were born to parents 
Robert and Shirley Lordeon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on May 14, 1962. Even as 
a child, Patty’s hallmark was her kindness and ability to connect with most 
anyone she met. Her musical gifts led her to become a dedicated choir member at 
her alma mater, Saint Paul’s Cathedral High School. Patty married Joel Scott 
Hough in 1986 and together they had three sons – Damian, Ryan, and Sean – who 
were Patty’s greatest pride and joy. Scott’s Naval career eventually led the 
couple to Patty’s adopted hometown of Norfolk, Virginia where Patty became a 
dedicated employee of ABNB Credit Union.

Despite experiencing the losses of several family members, including her 
youngest son, Sean, Patty’s heart never hardened – instead she became more 
steadfast in her desire to be a light for others. After leukemia claimed the 
life of her younger sister, Joanne, in 1996, Patty became a regular platelet 
donor to honor her sister’s memory. She loved volunteering in the community with 
her ABNB coworkers. Patty was not one to seek the spotlight herself but 
constantly looked for reasons to celebrate others – once she entered your life 
you could count on the fact that she would remember every birthday and would be 
the first in line to congratulate you on your accomplishments.

Patty loved music and spoiling her dear pet cats. She was a beloved mother, 
loyal sister, doting aunt, and steadfast friend. More than anything, she was a 
person who loved people – those she knew and those she didn’t. Those who had the 
blessing of experiencing her love will miss her fiercely.

Patty is survived by her husband, Joel Scott Hough, her sons Damian Hough and 
Ryan Hough, her sisters, Nan Pellegrini (Robert), Susan Jennings (James), her 
twin brother Michael (Dawn), her sisters-in-law, Tracy Gipko(George), Robin 
Walchesky( Dave) and Patricia Lordeon(Lawrence), and several nieces and nephews. 
She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Shirley Lordeon, her 
stepmother Joyce Lordeon, her father-in-law, C.L. Hough, her mother-in-law, 
Jeannie Kluttz Hough, her sister, Joanne Lordeon, her brother, Lawrence Lordeon, 
her nephew, Jake Gipko, and her son, Sean Hough.

A remembrance hour will be held at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, October 8th at Hollomon-
Brown Funeral Home in Norfolk, with a memorial service to directly follow at 1 
PM. Interment will follow at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery in Norfolk. In lieu of 
flowers, please consider a donation towards pancreatic cancer research to the 
American Cancer Society in Patty’s name.

Patty’s family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Timothy 
Platz and Dr. Nieka Harris, the staff at Portsmouth Naval Hospital, Virginia 
Oncology Associates, and Dr. Sinclair McCracken and the staff at TPMG Thimble 
Shoals Family Medicine for the compassionate care they provided to Patty and 
family over the past year.
