Thomas Farrell Felton was born August 19, 1939 in Osage, IA the son of Harvey and Elsie (Schmidt) Felton. Growing up in the Nora Springs area, he graduated from Nora Springs High School, later enlisting in to the United States Army where he spent time in Japan. Following his honorable discharge he continued his education at Iowa State University in Ames. Soon after, he began his career at the New Hampton School as a high school science teacher. Tom went on to earn his Masters Degree at the University of Northern Colorado, where the family spent many summers together. After a 36 year tenure at New Hampton High School, Tom retired to Florida where he enjoyed the sun and warm weather. After just two years, he could not stand being inactive and began working at schools down there.
Over the years Tom coached many high school students in track and cross country, as well as umpired and refereed countless games in the area. Tom enjoyed time spent with friends and cherished time with his family. He was longtime Grandmaster of Bridge in Winterhaven and looked forward to games with his bridge partner.
Surviving him are his children, Kim and Bob of Mason City, Brad and Brandi of Tennessee and Jason and Theresa of New York; grandchildren, Tara, Mason, Kaylee, Hailee, Matthew, Emma, Elise, Tanner, and Joy; many beloved great-grandchildren; as well as extended family members and numerous cherished friends.
Preceding him in death are his parents, Harvey and Elsie; a sister in infancy, Marlene; as well as aunts and uncles.

Tom was my mother´s (Marcella Braun daughter of Herman Schmidt) first cousin. I hadn´t seen Tom for several years and was fortunate to see him shortly before the pandemic one Sunday when my husband and I ate at Good Shepherd. I have good memories of when a child and playing with my second cousins who were closer to my age at Schmidt get together. Tom was about 2 years older than my older sister and 7 years older than me. I remember Tom as always with a smile and easy to visit with. I want to extend our sympathy to the family and hope your cherished memories will comfort you in your loss. God´s grace and peace to you all.
