Donna Lee Anton

October 29, 1956 – June 11, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Donna Lee Anton, beloved wife of Jared Anton, who departed this life on June 11, 2026, at the age of 69.

Born on October 29, 1956, in Trenton, NJ, but raised as a Philly girl in Bristol, PA, Donna was a woman of warmth, kindness, and unwavering devotion to her family and friends. She and Jared were married in Hollywood, FL, 42 years ago and they raised their two children there. She was the Director of the Preschool at Temple Beth El in Hollywood for the past six years and in the same position at Temple Sinai of Hollywood for many years before that. Donna's gentle spirit, generous heart, and infectious smile touched the lives of all who knew her.

From 1975 to 1977, Donna was a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader and she remained a devoted fan of the team throughout her life. Go Birds!

Donna loved doting on her children and grandchildren. In fact, she loved all children and her career in early childhood education allowed her to influence the development of hundreds, maybe thousands, of young people. She was a cherished family member, loyal friend, and a source of strength and encouragement to those around her. Her legacy of love, grace, and kindness will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone she leaves behind.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Jared Anton, her son Paul Anton, her daughter Sarah Klimovich (Michael), grandchildren Nathan Anton and Olivia Anton, brother Raymond Lewis (Ame), and sister Kimberly Glunt (Brian), along with her family, friends, and all whose lives were enriched by her presence.

Though words cannot ease the sorrow of her loss, her memory will remain a lasting blessing. Her love, wisdom, and beautiful spirit will never be forgotten.
