Thomas Jennings Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 13, 2017.
Thomas Jennings of Wysox, Pa. died peacefully on Sunday, July 9, 2017, at the Athens Health and Rehabilitation Center in Athens, Pa.

Tom was born in Towanda, Pa. in 1939, graduated from Penn State in 1961, and served honorably in the United States Army. As a younger man he loved to play softball, drink beer, go to Penn State football games, and walk along Lake Wesauking. He married and divorced Dorothy (Dottie) Louise Kelly and was father to Tom Jennings and Jocelyn Jennings-Croci. He was a member of the Wysox Presbyterian Church and a fixture of the Wysox business community. Later he enjoyed spending his time with his grandchildren and sharing local anecdotes with his many friends at the Red Rose Diner.

He is predeceased by his mother, Cora Muriel Jennings, née Quick; and his father, John Lewis Jennings.

Tom is survived by his daughter, Jocelyn Jennings Croci; his son, Thom; his grandchildren, Hannah and Spencer; his sister, Joanne Powell, and her family.

In remembrance of Tom, his wishes were that you have a meal and share a tall tale at the Red Rose Diner or walk along Lake Wesauking and remember better days filled with friends, family and nature.
