Obituary

Doris M. (Bunce) Thomas, 75, of Folcroft passed away peacefully at her residence of 52 years on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. Born in Chester, Pennsylvania, she was a 1968 graduate of Notre Dame High School. Following her schooling she accepted a position with Philadelphia Electric Company and later in life accepted a position as a secretary for St. Gabriel's School in Norwood, PA, which she held for 26 years. She was also a devoted St. Gabe's church member. She relished in sports within her childhood as she applauded for all Philadelphia teams and most adored bowling and that translated into motherhood as she coached and supported her children as well. She took delight in trips to Long Beach Island, as her happy place became near a shoreline as a child and continued into adulthood. She has enriched the lives of others, and most of all loved spending time with her family. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband James F. Thomas III (1994) and son James B. Thomas (2015).
