Thomas F. Gilbert

Thomas F. Gilbert of Churchville died peacefully at St. Mary Medical Center on Thursday, January 9, 2020.  He was 81.

Tom was the beloved husband of 58 years to Eleanor Mauser Gilbert.

Born in Philadelphia, PA he was the son of the late Frank T. and Helen Piorkowski Gilbert.

Tom was a proud veteran of the Army.  He enjoyed gardening and growing vegetables that he would share with family and friends during the harvesting period.  He also honed his talents at preserving the harvest by canning them in various brines and sauces.  Tom enjoyed family gatherings, dining on crabs, and dancing, but above all he cherished any moment he spent with his adoring family.  Tom will be greatly missed, but eternally loved and remembered by everyone who he has loved and cared for.

In addition to his wife Eleanor, Tom is survived by his two loving and devoted children: Thomas F. Gilbert II and his wife Marian of Holland and Tammy D’Arcy and her husband William of Doylestown.  He is also survived by nine loving grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, his sister Katherine Wolaniuk and his brother Edward Gilbert (Eileen).

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his viewing on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 starting at 9:30 am followed by his Funeral Mass at 11:00 am at St. Vincent de Paul Church, 654 Hatboro Rd. (at Tanyard Rd.) Richboro, PA 18954.  His interment will follow at All Saints Cemetery in Newtown.

In lieu of flowers, contributions would be appreciated, in his memory to Womens Animal Center, 3839 Richlieu Road Bensalem, PA 19020   www.fluehr.com
