Thomas Willman Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kreamer Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc. - Annville on Dec. 4, 2024.
Thomas S. Willman, 74, of Lebanon passed away on Friday, November 29, 2024 at his residence. He was the husband of the late Barbara (Smith) Willman who passed away in 2003.
Born in Lebanon, he was the son of the late Stephen and Magdalen (Blum) Willman. He was a 1968 graduate of Lebanon Catholic High School. Tom was self-employed most of his life. For many years he created beautiful metal sculptures and participated in art shows along the east coast. Later in life he started his own landscaping business. He also enjoyed fishing, hunting and antiques. His greatest joy was spending time with family and friends.
Tom was a lifetime member of St. Cecilia's Catholic Church in Lebanon and attended mass several times a week when able.
Tom achieved over 34 years of sobriety and served as a mentor and sponsor to many individuals through his involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous. Even after years of sobriety, he prioritized his involvement in AA meetings.
Tom was a "helper". It is difficult to capture how many lives he touched through his caring outreach. Whether through offering guidance and support, financial assistance, or giving someone a place to stay, he was supportive to those in need.
He is survived by three daughters Audrey, wife of David Fortna, Crystal, wife of Kris Turner, and Jennifer, wife of Tony Rutter; seven grandchildren Madison, Brayden, Adam, Tasia, Caleb, Melayna, and Javion.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 11AM from St. Cecilia's Catholic Church, 120 E. Lehman St., Lebanon. Inurnment will follow at St. Gertrude Cemetery. A visitation with his family will be held from 10AM until the time of his Funeral Mass at the Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lebanon Fellowship House which served as a pillar of strength and support for Tom. Checks should be made out to/sent to Lebanon Fellowship Treasurer, 334 E. Weidman St., Lebanon, PA 17046.

I remember one night at St. Cecilia´s the two of us painted the walk-in refrigerator. It took us about 3 hours and Tom was telling stories the whole time. I think we finished up at around 10 or 11 p.m. He will be missed.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I will miss Tom´s warm smile and cheerful greetings at church. He was a really good man, prayerful and hopeful. I will deeply miss him.
