Donald Aime Lebel

Donald A. Lebel, 77, of Westbrook, passed away peacefully on December 27, 2025, at Maine Veteran Homes in Scarborough. The son of the late Rudolph and EyVonne (Wormwood) Lebel, he was born in Portland on December 23, 1948.

A proud Navy Veteran, Don dedicated his life to service, both in the military and in his community. He worked for many years with SD Warren/Sappi, retiring in 2004.

Don was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Nancy Lebel, with whom he shared 27 years of marriage.

He is survived by his children, Erin and Andrew, as well as Matt and Amanda. He was also the cherished grandfather of Bailey, Maekenna, Liliana, and Caden, and the proud great-grandfather of Theodore. Don is also survived by his two sisters, Diane and Jeanne.

Don’s family and friends will always remember him for his infectious sense of humor and his ability to make people laugh. His laugh was as contagious as his kindness. He was a generous soul who was always ready to lend a helping hand. Don had a deep love for electronics and a passion for fixing things. He was never without his trusty toolbox, always ready to tackle a challenge. His love for black jelly beans was well-known among those who loved him, as was his lifelong fascination with tinkering and problem-solving.

He will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Family and friends are invited to attend a time of visitation on Saturday, January 31, 2026 from 3-5 PM at Jones, Rich & Barnes Funeral Home, 199 Woodford St. Portland. Interment with Military Honors will be in Woodlawn Cemetery in Westbrook in the spring.

Immediately following the viewing there will be a celebration of life at Mandy & Matt’s Cafe 1160 Forest Ave. starting at 5.
