Donna Lee Dillon, 80, of Temple, passed away February 17, 2025, at her Muhlenberg Township residence surrounded by her loving family.
She was the wife of Timothy John Dillon, whom she married on October 2, 1971.
Born August 18, 1944, she was the daughter of the late William Kocevar and Ella (Fillman) Kocevar.
Donna attended high school at Reading High, where she left after 10th grade to begin working.
She was an active supporter of the American legion Auxiliary Fleetwood Post #0625. Donna was also an active member at Holy Guardian Angels R.C.C. When Donna wasn’t involved in helping around the community she enjoyed making different types of chocolate candy which stemmed from her past work experience as a candy maker at Godiva Chocolate where she worked for 15 years. What brought her the most joy was spending time with her family during the holidays and other family gatherings.
Donna is survived by one son, Shawn Dillon, husband of Jennifer (Balzarano) Dillon of Bala Cynwyd, PA.
Also surviving is one grandson, with whom she was very close with, John Timothy Dillon of Bala Cynwyd.
Two siblings are also surviving, Barbara (Kocevar), wife of Karl Easterday and Henry Kocevar, husband of Carol (Fields).
Donna was also very close to her next door neighbor Loyola Biehl and spent a lot of time with her.
She is predeceased by two siblings, Bruce Dehart and Peter Kocevar.
