Obituary
Condolences

Thomas William Maile, 77, of Erlanger, KY passed away peacefully on Wednesday January 22, 2025 at Christ Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on July 1, 1947, in Covington, Kentucky, Thomas was the beloved son of the late Edward and Mary Louise Maile (nee Cappel). He was a proud U.S. Army veteran, having served during the Vietnam War, and always spoke with honor about his time in service to his country.

Thomas was a devoted member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and a longtime member of Mary Queen of Heaven Church, where he faithfully attended for over 40 years. He was a proud alumnus of Covington Catholic High School and was known for his unwavering loyalty to his alma mater, as well as his passionate support of the University of Kentucky Wildcats.

He was also a dedicated member of Teamsters Local 100, where he worked tirelessly to support his family. A shepherd at heart, Thomas had an innate ability to care for and protect those around him, earning the love and respect of all who knew him.

Tom was also preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Bert Phillips.

A loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Thomas leaves behind his beloved wife of 53 years, Elizabeth Maile (nee Moreno); his daughter, Maria (Jeffrey Portwood) Maile, his brothers, Dick (Pam Blackburn) Maile, Tony (Terri) Maile; and his sisters, Barbara (Mike) Goebel), Mary Sue Phillips.

He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Isaac and Grace, and numerous other family members and friends.

Thomasโ€™s love for his family was unconditional, and his impact on the lives of those he touched was immeasurable. His legacy of faith, kindness, and dedication will live on in the hearts of all who had the honor of knowing him.

He is now safe in the hands of Jesus, and though his presence will be greatly missed, his spirit will forever remain with us.

Mass of Christian Burial will be on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at 11:00AM at Mary Queen of Heaven Church in Erlanger, KY. A reception will follow the mass at the Drees Pavilion in Devou Park Covington, KY.

He will be entombed at Mother of God Cemetery in Latonia, KY.
