With hearts full of love and cherished memories, we announce the peaceful passing of Tomalin "Tommie" Gnann, who departed this world on April 17, 2026, at the age of 87. Born on July 21, 1938, in the quaint town of Somerset, Pennsylvania. Tomalin grew up in Ohio, and moved to Florida in 1972 where she lived a life full of love.
Tommie was the beloved daughter of Mary and Ralph Myers, whose values of kindness and generosity she carried throughout her life. She is predeceased by her parents, her siblings Mardee, Pete, and Randi, her devoted husband Van Gnann, and her cherished son Bobby Galit. Tommie leaves behind a legacy of love through her surviving children Jonnie, Jeff (Priscilla), Jill Galit, Chip Phillips, and Clark (Lisa) along with her treasured grandchildren Justin, Austin, and Aubrie and step grandchildren Casey and Ricky.
Tommie met and married Van Gnann and they built a warm, welcoming home in which they raised children with love and care. Their partnership extended beyond their family, as they owned and operated a family liquor store that was well known in the community.
Tommie was a beacon of joy and optimism. She was known for her generosity, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a comforting meal. Her love for cooking was only matched by her love of animals. Tommie’s home was always a haven for pets, each one finding a place in her heart and home.
As we gather to celebrate Tommie's life, we hold dear the memories of her warmth, her laughter, and her unwavering optimism. A service honoring her memory will be held on May 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Glick Funeral Home, located at 3600 N Federal Highway, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Here, family and friends will come together to reminisce and find comfort in the shared love and memories of a life well-lived. Burial will follow at the Boca Raton Cemetery.
Rest in peace, dear Tommie. Your life was a beautiful gift, and we are eternally grateful for having shared in it.
