Thomas Deebel Obituary
Thomas Deebel, 83, of Ringtown, passed away Monday while a guest at the Shenandoah Senior Living Community.
Born in Ringtown on Jan. 24, 1941, he was the son of the late Marvin and Florence (Bley) Deebel.
After graduating salutatorian from his high school, Thomas went on to be a heavy equipment mechanic for several years, while still staying active in his community and personal life. Thomas was a member of the Ringtown Valley Hunting Club and the Ringtown Snowmobile Club and a lifelong member of the Ringtown Fire Company. Thomas was known for being able to fix anything, and more generously, would always be the first person to lend a hand to family, friends and neighbors when someone needed something repaired. In his free time, you would find Thomas fishing, hunting or farming. Thomas' legacy as a smart, kind and helpful man is left to be cherished by his family and everyone who knew him.
Surviving are his loving wife of 62 years, JoAnn (Seroka) Deebel; son, Thomas E. Deebel, D.C. and wife, Carol; daughter, Heather Mackay and husband, Leo; grandchildren, Monica Guinn, Kathryn E. Deebel, Thomas Deebel Jr., Sarah B. Mackay and Josiah Mackay; great-granddaughter, Daisy Padilla; siblings, including sisters, Rose Jablonski and husband, Bill; Karen Everett and husband, Glenn; and Phyllis Jordan; brother, Paul Deebel; beloved dog, Ava; and several nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. June 1 in St. Johns Church, Brandonville, with the Rev. Craig Zimmerman officiating. Friends and family are invited to attend a visitation from 10 to 11 a.m.
Thomas will be laid to rest following the service in Girard Manor Cemetery, Phinneyville.
