Thomas J. Mallonee

Thomas J. Mallonee, 68, of Halifax, passed away unexpectedly, Sunday evening, May 31, 2026 at his home.

Born in Harrisburg on Wednesday, June 12, 1957, a son of Flo Mallonee and the late Thomas O. Mallonee. He was a graduate of Bishop McDevitt High School, Harrisburg Area Community College, and Penn College of Technology.

Tom worked as an electrician with Bethlehem Steel. Following the closing of the steel mill, he began his career as an electric technician/safety advocate at PPL Electric Utilities, retiring in 2022. 

For the past 28 years, Tom was a devoted and valued member of the Millersburg Ferry Boat Association. Serving as a captain was one of his greatest joys, and he took tremendous pride in helping preserve this historic tradition.

Tom was an active and faithful member of the Queen of Peace Catholic Church, Millersburg, where he served on the finance committee and volunteered wherever needed. He was a member of the Electrical Workers Union and United Steelworkers Union, Elk's Lodge #976 Huntingdon, and the Knights of Columbus, Lykens.

Boating was a huge part of Tom and Toi's life. They always looked forward to spending time at Raystown Lake on their boat. He took great pride in his home overlooking the Susquehanna River and his 1970 Pontiac GTO. Above all else, Tom's family was his world. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Surviving are his mother, Flo Mallonee; his beloved wife of 46 years, Toi Mallonee; two daughters, Shannon Ziegler (Justin) and Alicia Anderson (Chelstan); two granddaughters, Aurora and Kandace Ziegler; two grandsons, Chelstan III and Titan Anderson; two brothers, John Mallonee (Kelly) and Kevin Mallonee; two sisters, Colleen Koppenhaver (Tony) and Karen Traino; and several nephews.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, June 5, 2026 at 11:00 AM at the Queen of Peace Parish, Millersburg with Rev. Michael Opoki, AJ as celebrant. Viewing will be 9-11 at the parish. Tom will be laid to rest in Long's Cemetery, Halifax.
