Thomas G. Lemons

Our beloved husband and father, Thomas G. Lemons, of Bethel Park, passed away on March 1, 2024. Tom was born in 1944 and grew up in Marianna, PA. He was the son of the late Reuben and Anne Lemons.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Patricia. Loving Father of 3 Eric (Theresa) Lemons, Kristine (Allan) Pace, Jeffrey (Kelly) Lemons. Sibling to the deceased Reuben and surviving siblings (Shirley) Lemons, Marcia (Kenneth) Malgay, James (Nancy) Lemons. He loved the title of grandfather to his 5 grandchildren: Benjamin (Colleen) Pace, Sarah (Ryan) Deaton, Adam Pace, Elijah (Katrina) Pace and Amanda Hutter. Truly a GREAT grandfather to August Pace.

Tom was a very personable and charismatic man who made friends with everyone he met wherever he traveled. He attended Trinity High School, graduating in 1962. Educated at Waynesburg College and Duquesne University with BS, MA, and JD degrees. Early in his career he worked at the corporate level as a tax attorney, reaching his highest achievement as Assistant Treasurer International for Rockwell International Corporation and traveled the world making many new friends and adventures. He then went back home and opened a law office in Washington County. He worked tirelessly for the underdog and advocated for his clients, taking on many pro bono cases endlessly striving to help others in need. His top priority was his undying love for his wife and family and was a rock to us all. He loved to travel with his wife to Hawaii, the Caribbean and many other places. He was happiest when surrounded by family. He is one of the best men we ever knew.

The burial will be private, and celebration of life will be held later. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in his name to Macular Degeneration Research at UPMC Eye and Ear Institute. Masses in his name at your local parish would be welcome.
