Obituary for Wendell Richard Hoskins
WENDELL RICHARD HOSKINS, age 58 years, of Delta, PA died at his home at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 25, 2014. He was the husband of Betsy J. (nee Brown) Hoskins. They observed their 22nd wedding anniversary on September 5.
Born in Baltimore, MD on July 31, 1956, Wendell was a son of the late Mathias Deming and Norma (nee White) Hoskins. A graduate of Northern High School, he was employed for 26 years with Becton, Dickinson and Company in Hunt Valley, MD where he worked as an injection molding mechanic.
Wendell was a great sports fan, especially of the Orioles and Ravens whose games he attended frequently. For several years he coached his daughter Dawn’s softball team in Fawn Grove, PA.
Wendell was a kind, considerate person and a friend to all. He loved his family, and they describe him as the “glue” that helped keep them connected. Wendell hosted most all of the family gatherings.

Two daughters, Dawn E. Hoskins of Delta, PA

One stepson Scott Behlert of Lionville, PA
One sister, Christine E. Jackson of Bel Air, MD
