Obituary of Thomas F. Mangine

Thomas F. Mangine, 82, of Manalapan passed away surrounded by his family on Monday, August 10, 2020 at CentraState Medical Center, Freehold Township.  Tommy was born and raised in Trenton and lived in Old Tappan before moving to Manalapan in 1975.  Working since the age of eight, Tommy retired in 2008.  Prior to that, Tommy worked for Trident Abstract Title, Freehold.  He was a jock, playing baseball and football, running track when he was younger, and bowling at Strathmore Lanes.  A jack-of-all trades, Tommy loved being the handyman around the house.  He was a history buff and loved his Italian food.  Tommy was a former parishioner of St. Thomas More Catholic Church, Manalapan and a communicant of the Co-Cathedral of St. Robert Bellarmine, Freehold Township.  Most of all, he was a devoted husband, loving father, and adoring “Granda”.

Tommy was predeceased by his sister, Jean Hendrickson.  He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Elizabeth “Lil” Mangine (nee Reilly-McMorrow); a daughter, Lisa Maglione of Howell; a son, Thomas J. Mangine of Chicago; a granddaughter, Erin Rose Maglione; a sister, Patricia Stogis of Pennsylvania; and brother, Gerald Mangine  and his wife, Nancy of Ewing; and many nieces and nephews.
