Thomas Montague Mapp

Thomas Montague Mapp, 69, of Midlothian, formerly of Sebring, Fla., passed away peacefully at Bon Secour Hospice House on December 17, 2018, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by family throughout his stay in hospice. He was preceded in death by his parents, Judson K. and Grace B. Mapp. He is survived by his loving wife of more than 23 years; Debra S. Mapp and her daughter Jamie Massey (Ramey), who he adored as his own, his brother Stephen W. Mapp (Karen), three nephews, Jeffrey S. Mapp (Kimball), Kevin S. Mapp (Lindsay), and Joseph K. Mapp (Megan), two grandchildren Dylan Ansbro (Victoria) and Brenna Ansbro, and eight grand nephews and nieces. Tommy was a graduate of the 1967 class of George Wythe High School in Richmond. Following 4 years of active service and deployment with the U.S. Naval Reserve, Tommy had an outstanding career at C & P Telephone (Verizon) of 30 years. After moving to Sebring, Florida, Tommy worked part-time as an emergency medical courier with Florida Hospital, Heartland Division. He enjoyed traveling with Debby and playing as many rounds of golf as he could fit in, accomplishing a hole in one on two separate occasions. Tommy was fiercely loyal to his faith, his country, and his family. He was dedicated to caring for Debby and they enjoyed many wonderful years together. We will miss his wonderful sense of humor and his knack for finding the funniest birthday cards. A celebration of life will be held at Winfree Memorial Baptist Church on Friday, December 21, at 11 a.m. A reception in the church Ministries Activity Center will follow immediately. The family plans a private interment. We are extremely grateful for the staff at The Bickford, where Tommy and Debby reside, and for the staff of Bon Secour Hospice House. Their loving care of Tommy will always remain large in the hearts of the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made either to the Wounded Warriors Project, P.O.
