Thomas Hamilton Abell, 80 of Lusby, MD died April 20, 2011 at Baltimore Shock Trauma.

He was born to Eleanor Clarke Abell and Walter Eugene Abell on June 2, 1930 in Great Mills, Maryland. He married Carol Allred Abell on June 30, 1962 at St. George's Episcopal Church in Valley Lee, Maryland. Together they had one child, Kathleen.

Tom was a genius with any kind of flower or shrub. To say he had a green thumb is an understatement. He had amazing artistic talent. His wood working projects are absolutely beautiful. Daddy loved to talk, he enjoyed eating out at restaurants on the water and sitting and talking for hours.

He is survived by his daughter, Kathleen Abell Burch, son-in-law, Kenny Burch, his sister Priscilla Scott, his brothers, David Abell, John Walter Abell, George Abell, his grandchildren, Katie Huber and Thomas Burch, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife Carol on April 13, 2011.

He was loved very much by all of us and he will be missed every day.

A funeral service will be held on Thursday, April 21, 2011 at St. George Episcopal Church, 19167 Poplar Hill Lane, Valley Lee, MD 20692 at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow in the church cemetery.
