Memorial service for the life of Thomas “Tom” Shea will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at Hill Crest Memorial, Haughton, Louisiana, with Joe Huffman officiating. Visitation will be from 1:30 p.m. until time of service.
A retired SMSgt of the USAF with 26 and a half years of service was born in Andalusia, Alabama, and passed away in Shreveport, Louisiana on April 17, 2025, at 76 years old.
Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 57 years, Edith Olds Shea; his children, Kevin Shea (Donna), Keith Shea, and Kelli Shea; grandchildren, Logan Shea, Ethan Wood (Maddi), Shelby Shea, Kassidy Wood, Skylar Shea; great grandchildren, Jaxx and Kason Wood. He is also survived by 1 brother and 3 sisters, a host of nieces, nephews and many friends.
When he was younger, he was really good at sports. But once he had kids, he spent all his time coaching and helping them with their sports. He also coached other kids who he treated like his own. Tom loved playing golf, listening to live music, cheering for LSU and the Dallas Cowboys, watching old western movies, and making sure his yard looked the best on the street. He was always the center of attention at parties, dancing in parades or pretending to play guitar and drums. We'll miss his big smile, funny jokes, and the wise things he used to say. It's like a piece of our group is missing now that he's gone.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests to donate to a charity of your choice. The family would like to thank the compassionate doctors, nurses on 3West and ICU at WK North.
