The following obituary was composed by Gertrude’s family:

Gertrude Toms, a beloved social worker and cherished member of her community, passed away peacefully in her home on July 10, 2024, at the age of 92. Born on March 11, 1932, to George Weber and Minnie Fink, Gertrude lived a life full of compassion, dedication, and love.

Gertrude was married to Robert S. Toms, who preceded her in death in December 2001. Together, they shared many happy years and built a loving neighborhood and church community.

Throughout her career, Gertrude dedicated herself to helping others. She worked for the Philadelphia Life Insurance Company, the Sunday Breakfast Association, and The Philadelphia Protestant Home, where she made a significant impact as a social worker. Her commitment to her work and the well-being of those she served was unwavering.

Outside of her work life, Gertrude found joy in simple pleasures. She had a passion for indoor and outdoor gardening. She also loved to take long walks with her faithful dogs. Gertrude's faith, kindness, and dedication to helping others will be remembered by all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known her. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched.

Relatives and friends are invited to her memorial service on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 11:00 A.M. at Trinity Lutheran Church Of Fort Washington, 235 Summit Avenue, Fort Washington, PA 19034.
