Donna Lee Catherine D'Auria

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Donna Lee Catherine D'Auria of Lancaster, who left us surrounded by love on January 3, 2026.

Donna Lee was the cherished daughter of the late John and Dorothy Efthemis. She was a devoted wife to Lloyd D'Auria, with whom she shared 61 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a loving family that includes their beloved daughters, Tina Tsakaris, Lisa (Doug) Black, and Nicole D'Auria. Donna Lee's role as a grandmother brought her immense joy, as she was a cherished Nana to Ashley, Jessica, Faith, Courtney, Nicholas, Michael, and Mike, and a proud Great-Nana to seven great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her siblings, John (JoAnn), Genevieve, and James (Alex) Efthemis, sister-in-law, Grace (Patrick) Conner, as well as her son-in-law, Michael Bardol, and numerous nieces and nephews who will forever hold her memory dear.

In addition to her parents, Donna Lee was preceded in death by her daughter, Wendy Bardol, and her siblings: Doris (Fred) Bowman, Helene (Michael) Capozzi, Donald (Gail) Efthemis, and Roger Efthemis.

Donna Lee had many passions; she was an avid bingo player and enjoyed crafting, but her greatest joy came from spending time with her family. Her warm spirit and loving presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

As we celebrate the life of Donna Lee Catherine D'Auria, we remember her warmth, kindness, and devotion to family. Her legacy of love will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

A Celebration of Life will be announced by the family at a later date.
