Donna M. Deibler

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Donna M. Deibler of Stevens, PA at the age of 71 on July 7, 2024. Donna was called to be with her Lord and Savior after an extensive and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She was the daughter of the late June and Donald Ansel of Stevens, PA.

After retiring from teaching, she helped to design products and attended trade shows with husband (Phil’s) metal art business, Innovations Unlimited.

Donna had many hobbies and interests. Some of her favorite fun things to do were riding her motor scooter on the back roads in the area. She also loved her two faithful Westies, which were at her side all through her illness and gave her great comfort as if some how they knew she was very sick. Donna also loved watching hummingbirds at her feeders, riding her ATV in Potter County looking for the black bears, and traveling out west to see the many animals which make the Rocky Mountains their home. Before becoming ill, Donna and Phil loved to go on cruises to the Caribbean, Bermuda and Alaska.
