Terrence "Terry" J. Marlowe

Terrence J. Marlowe, 67, of East Brandywine Township, PA, passed away on Monday, March 11, 2024, at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia.  He was the husband of Robin (Smith) Marlowe for over 39 years.  Born in Darby, PA, he was the son of the late James J. and Mary Jane (Ortolon) Marlowe.

Terry was 1974 graduate of Malvern Prep and received his B.A. from Villanova University in 1978. He then graduated from Temple University Law School in 1981 and practiced in Downingtown. For 16 years he was an adjunct professor at Widener School of Law in Wilmington, DE.

Terry’s greatest satisfaction in his professional life was teaching and mentoring the next generation of young lawyers.  Many former students stayed in touch to offer updates on their careers, as well as thanks for his impact on both their personal and professional lives.

Terry was a movie buff, student of history and literature, and an animal lover.  He enjoyed March Madness especially when his teams were in the tournament.

He swore that his “Kitty Cat” was a Villanova Wildcat fan.

Terry overcame the obstacle of being a bi-lateral, above -knee amputee, even climbing the Mayan pyramid at Chichen Itza to the top.

His true legacy is the inspiration he leaves with us to overcome obstacles in life, whether they be physical ones or otherwise.

Besides his wife, Robin, he is survived by a son, Nathaniel of Philadelphia.

A Celebration of Life service is being planned and when  the details are completed the information will be posted here.  M emorial contributions can go to the charity or organization of the donor’s choice.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Wilde Funeral Home, Parkesburg, PA. Online condolences can be posted at www.wildefuneralhome.com
