Sarah Marie Gillespie  age 75 of Lewes DE, passed away on Thursday, August 11, 2022, at Christiana Care Hospital after a brief illness. She was born on May 12, 1947, in Erie PA, the daughter of Edith (Burger) Gioia. Sarah spent her formative years first in Kane PA and then in Philadelphia. After graduating from high school Sarah entered a Catholic religious order where she served the Lord for 13 years. During that time, she attended college and became a Registered Nurse. She also spent several years as a missionary in South America fully utilizing her nursing skills.

Sarah attended Immaculata University where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Over the course of her career as a Registered Nurse, she expertly and lovingly cared for thousands of patients, and her work gave her a great sense of purpose, satisfaction, and joy. On April 30, 1982, Sarah married the love of her life, Brian Gillespie and they would spend the next forty years raising their beautiful daughters. Sarah loved the simple things in life – taking long walks on the beach, watching old movies, attending mass regularly, and curling up with a good book. Her devotion to her family, however, took precedence above all and the time spent with those she held dear was what she cherished the most. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, and friend, and those who were fortunate enough to have known her will miss her deeply.

After retiring from 40 years of nursing in 2011, Sarah and Brian moved to Lewes DE where they lived the good life, spending time at the beach with friends and family. She could always be found on Sunday mornings in the front pew at Saint Edmond Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach with Brian, and after that at a front row table at the Crystal Restaurant. Sarah also was a Eucharistic Minister at Saint Jude Catholic Church.

Sarah and Brian travelled extensively during their marriage, visiting places like Cape Town,outh Africa, Tokyo Japan, London England, Bermuda, and the Highlands of Scotland to mention a few.
Sarah was preceded in death by her brothers Joseph and Nicolas. Sarah is survived by her husband of forty years, Brian, her daughters Jennifer and Kimberly, her mother Edith Gioia, and her sisters Madeline, Edith, and Alice. She was also a sister-in-law to Kevin and Donna Gillespie, and an aunt o many nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at 11:00 AM at St. Edmond Catholic Church, 409 King Charles Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE, where friends visited beginning at 10:00AM. At Sarah’s wishes,  dress will be casual; it’s the beach!

Thomas was a captain for the Lobster New Year’s Brigade in 1969 and was involved with the Mummers Organization for many years. He belonged to the American Legion Post 17 and was a commander for a few years and recently moved his membership to post 28.

Above all Thomas was a family man; he was a loving father and grandfather who cared for his loved ones until the last day, and he will be greatly missed by them.

In addition to his parents, Thomas was preceded in death by his sweetheart and wife of 50+ years, Rita Gillespie; and his granddaughter, Erin Doyle.
