Donna DeLucia
Donna A. Nero DeLucia, 77, of Whitehall Township peacefully passed away at home surrounded by her biggest fans while her son strummed the banjo softly on Saturday March 26th, 2022. Her light was just about as bright as they come. If you knew her (which you probably did), her love always made an impact. She was devoted, kind, and would always let you know she loved you to the moon and back. Donna and her husband would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Born in Cementon, she was the daughter of the late Fred Nero and surviving mother, Antoinette Nero who just turned 100. She was a graduate of Whitehall Zephyrs 1962 and the Attendance Secretary at Whitehall for 40 years! She was known to hand out sweet treats to all that passed by her attendance window. Donna was also a committed aerobics instructor of 40 years and would always make the people in class “pay for it” on the nights where SHE ate too much! This warrior fought against cancer for a year and a half and during this time, she still showed up and exercised her heart out. She enjoyed going to the beach with family and going on so many adventures around the world with her best friends. Her favorite trip was going to Disney World with the entire family and experiencing the magic together. She will be missed by so many, but we all know she is already sitting at the attendance desk by the gates of heaven and probably instructing aerobics classes at night up there.
Survivors: Her loving husband Joseph, along with her sons: Gino DeLucia and wife Bridget, Dino DeLucia, and Fred DeLucia. Grandchildren: Angelica Grube wife of Noah Grube, Kayla DeLucia wife of Amanda, and James Dean DeLucia. Two Great Grandchildren: Blaire and Landon.
