By obits

 

Dr. Thomas P. Wehrle, 65, of Elizabeth Township, left this earthly world on March 4, 2019, surrounded by family, love and laughter. Born in Punxsutawney, Tom will join his loving parents, Paul E. and Margaret Harper Wehrle, along with his siblings, Maureen (Leon) Boughner, Paula Squashic, Kathy Kitchen and Rick Wehrle, in heaven. He leaves his Clarion sweetheart, Patricia (Limberg) Wehrle, his best friend and wife of 43 years, to continue spoiling their five grandchildren: Chloe, Gia, Isabel, Aurora, and Gavin. He enjoyed a life full of adventures with Pat and their loving marriage set an example for his daughters. His “Wehrle Girls,” Erin (Mike) Golebiewski, Trisha (Tom) Goodge and Stephanie (Rob) Davies, will affectionately carry on his life lessons, advice and laughter with their families. A devoted husband, father, and Papa, Tom will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor and dedication to his family. He was a man of many hobbies and thrived on making people laugh. This outdoorsman enjoyed helping others, he loved his dental career, opening his practice in 1986, The Thomas P. Wehrle family practice in Monongahela, continuing to work until his retirement in 2013. He was a member of the Monongahela Rotary Club for 29 years where he served as past president. Tom is deeply loved and will be sadly missed by his immediate family, nieces, nephews, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and friends. His laugh added so much life and joy to those around him. While we grieve his loss, we will lovingly carry on his memories. Tom’s family asks that you spend time with your loved ones, do something you love, and brush your teeth – That’s what Tom would have wished for you. Friends and family will gather to celebrate Tom’s life from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at MARSHALL MARRA FUNERAL HOME. 216 Chess St., Monongahela, 724-258-6767, marshallmarrafuneralhome.com, where services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday with the Rev. Eric Dennis officiating. Interment will follow in Round Hill Cemetery, Elizabeth.
