Caroline B. Devlin, 77, of Winchester City, VA died Thursday, December 10, 2020, quietly at her home in the City, just off of Amherst Street.

Caroline was born in 1943 in Morris, Illinois, daughter of the late Elizabeth and Elmer “Ben” Boden.

She graduated from Villa Joseph Marie High School in Newtown, PA in 1960 and received a Bachelor of Arts in 1964 from Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA.

She was employed at Hadley Memorial, Alexandria and Fairfax Hospitals as a Medical Records Coder and after “retiring” enjoyed her job as the Church Secretary at Nativity Catholic Church in Burke, VA.

Caroline loved her little home in Winchester, her sweet and loyal dog Benny and her granddaughters. Her talents and hobbies included reading, writing poetry, sewing, bird watching, playing her beautiful baby grand piano and doing jigsaw and word search puzzles. She also loved watching Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and The Voice. Caroline loved music in general and was a huge Neil Diamond fan for close to 50 years. Rest in peace “Sweet Caroline”. She loved her time as a member of the choir at Winchester Church of God, where she met some wonderful friends. She also regularly attended Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church and enjoyed her weekly time in the adoration Chapel.

Surviving are her two daughters, Alexandra L. Devlin and Catherine D. Bogaty, both of Winchester. Catherine is married to her husband Justin and they have 3 daughters: Gabriella, Sofia and Nina.

She is preceded in death by the father of their children, Robert J. Devlin of Edinburg, VA.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be conducted at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church on Friday, December 18, 2020 at 11:00 AM with Rev. Stephen Holmes officiating. Inurnment will follow the service in Sacred Heart Cemetery.

A Celebration of Life will be announced in the future for a larger gathering of family and friends. We want to be able to enjoy time and memories with everyone when it can be done safely.

Memorial contributions may be made to Blue Ridge Hospice, 333 W. Cork Street, Suite #405, Winchester, VA 22601.

See Condolences

Nativity Church (Burke, VA) missed her when she left, especially the Love is Given Prayer Group. She and Bob were mainstays while they were here.

My deepest sympathy for your loss of Caroline. We worked together at Fairfax Hospital. She was a true treasure to know and I will miss her. My prayers are with you all.

I will always remember Caroline for the great times we had working together at Alexandria Hospital and the times we share our laughs about life and family. She was always a very classy lady. My husband and I are sending our deepest sympathy to the whole family. Hector and Nora Mendoza.

I am grateful for our friendship. You were a good friend. Thank you for the times you played your favorite music for my listening. We will meet again, but not in this life. Love, Mac

I'm so sorry about the passing of your mother/grandmother. She was a unique personality that was never a loss for words. Her spirit will live forever. Wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Radiant Caroline. Captivating storyteller, keeper of secrets, loving friend. We will miss you!

Catherine and family, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious mother. May her memory always be dear to you and comfort you as you move forward. I miss you and think of you often during this trying year.

Words cannot express how much I will miss my dear friend. We worked together, traveled together to Paris and Rome and shared many family celebrations over the years. Caroline was always good for a witty remark and always there to listen. She was so proud of her sweet family. My husband Gene and I send our most heart felt condolences to them.

Caroline was a strong gentle soul who was so modest about her many talents. She loved her family and her God. I feel so fortunate to call her my friend.. Gail Long

I will fondly remember the fun Caroline and I enjoyed, attending organ concerts and occasionally a party afterward. We often talked on the phone or in person with Benny vying for all the attention! She shared many of her poems with me, and a few of them I put to music. I will miss you, Caroline!
