William Joseph Baronsky, Jr.

     William J. Baronsky, Jr., 83, of Odenton, Maryland, went home to be with the Lord on October 23, 2025 at Autumn Lake Healthcare in Crofton, Maryland.

     Born on February 4, 1942 in Chester, Pennsylvania, William was the beloved son of the late Helen (DiCave) Baronsky and the late William J. Baronsky, Sr.

     He is survived by his devoted wife of 57 years, Evelyne “Rue” Baronsky; his sister Janet Diviny; his brother Robert Baronsky; and his sisters-in-law Elizabeth Rorke (Steve) and Letitia Mayo. He is also survived by his loving children Michael Baronsky (Jenny) and Lynn Israel (Archie); cherished grandchildren: Adriana Baronsky (Jason), Colby Tripple, Genna Tripple, Josephine “Josie” Baronsky, and Ace Israel; and great-grandchildren Grayson Liberto and Sylo Liberto; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

     William’s life was marked by deep faith, love, and warmth. He loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and his family meant everything to him. His happiest moments were those spent surrounded by his loved ones, sharing laughter and fellowship. William had a way of making everyone feel special — always greeting others with a warm smile, a hug, and a kiss.

     Fondly known by many names — Billy, Bill, Dad, Uncle Bull, Pappy, and Church Cop — William will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
