Thomas P. Coyle's Obituary
Thomas “Tom” P. Coyle, 74, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 9, 2025 surrounded
by his loving family. Born on May 15, 1951 in Philadelphia to the late Bernard and Margaret
Coyle, Tom was a proud graduate of Cardinal Dougherty High School, Class of 1970, and went
on to earn his bachelor’s degree from Temple University.
Tom and his family set roots in Marlton and have called it home for the past 34 years. He put his
family above everything and enjoyed every minute they spent together on the sport fields or on
the beach in Sea Isle City. A hard-working, dedicated businessman, Tom enjoyed all things
football, Irish, and Elvis.
Tom was the beloved husband of 42 years to Margie (née Schwartz). He was a devoted father to
Shea (Matt) Maugeri and Casey (Kayce) Coyle, and cherished grandfather to Callie,
Coleman, and Nolan. Tom is predeceased by his parents and his brothers, Jack and Bernard
Coyle. He is lovingly survived by his siblings Maureen Mondel, Bunny DiPasquale, Connie
Coyle, Peggy Perry, Pat Coyle, and Dolores Ferguson, as well as his brother and sister-in-law,
Hank and Denise McElwee, and many nieces, nephews, and close friends who will miss him
dearly.
