RED LION • Pastor Thomas R. Osenbach, 61, of North Hopewell Twp., passed away Sunday, May 5, 2019, at York Hospital. He was the husband of Denise Lorraine (Connelly) Osenbach. The couple celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary Sept. 28, 2018. A celebration of life memorial service was held May 11, 2019, at Bethany United Methodist Church, 121 W. Broadway, in Red Lion. Life Tributes by Olewiler & Heffner Funeral Chapel & Crematory, Inc., 35 Gotham Place in Red Lion was in charge of the arrangements. Tom was born in Pottsville May 9, 1957, the son of Thomas M. Osenbach of Lykens, Pa., and the late Mildred A. “Mim” (Davis) Osenbach. He served as pastor of Bethlehem Stone-pile United Methodist Church and Springvale United Methodist Church, both in Red Lion, for more than 30 years. Pastor Tom shepherded the Bethlehem Stonepile-Springvale Charge for more than 30 years, loving and cherishing each parishioner as if they were a member of his own family. Wherever he was needed, whenever he was needed, he was always there for not only the congregations he served, but any person or family who needed him. He served the Lord humbly and faithfully, and when he was called to his Father’s heavenly home, he was greeted with these words: “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Tom leaves two sons, Micah B. Osenbach, at home, and Brian L. Osenbach and his wife Laura of Williamsport; two granddaughters, Alexis and Alana Osenbach; two brothers, Robert and David Osenbach; two sisters, Karen Elliot and Allison Smith; and nieces and nephews.
