Anthony D. DiBona

On April 25, 2022 of Turnersville, age 91. Beloved husband of Rita (nee Russo). Devoted father of Lawrence DiBona (Maryann), Anthony DiBona, Jr. (Ann Marie), Phyllis Jones (Bill), and Lorrie Jones (Jeff). Loving grandfather of Antonia (Rohit), Lauren (Shaun), David, Nicole, Gregory, Daniel, Stephen, Matthew (Monica), and Michaela (Rory). Proud great-grandfather of Nile, Nolan, and Mason. Dear brother of Mary Abbonizio and Rita DeFrancesco (Ben). He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.

On April 25, 2022, Anthony D. DiBona, 91 died peacefully at home.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, one of six children, Anthony (Tony) grew up in West Philadelphia and graduated from Overbrook High School. He met Rita, the love of his life, in 1950. At 21, he enlisted in the Army and served in Korea during the Korean War. On leave from the service in 1954, Rita and Tony were married and began their lives together to enjoy 68 wonderful years. The family grew with the addition of 4 children, 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Tony was a devoted husband, father, father-in-law, brother, uncle, grandfather and great grandfather, always ready with a helping hand, sound advice and a sense of humor!

Tony’s passion for cars led him to a successful career in the automotive industry beginning with Nash, then American Motors for many years, and finally Chrysler.

Upon retirement, Tony and Rita spent winters in Bradenton, Florida and summers in Margate where he enjoyed beautiful beaches and strolling the boardwalk.

Tony was an avid golfer and loved the game of baseball, a loyal Phillies fan. Artistically talented, Tony explored his creative side through oil painting and pastels sharing his work with family and friends.

He will be sadly missed by all who knew and couldn’t help but love him.

Family and friends are invited to attend his viewing Saturday, April 30th 8:30 – 10:45 AM at St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church, 176 Stagecoach Rd., Sicklerville, NJ 08081. Mass of Christian Burial 11:00 AM. Interment Gloucester County Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery, Williamstown.

Sending love and prayers to all your family at this sad time. Tony was a love. His devotion to you all was exemplary, and will live on in your memories. Deepest sympathy to everyone.

Larry - I am so sorry. I never met your dad but he must have been a great guy for to turn out to be such a great guy. ?

Prayers for your family at this time

One of my earliest memories of Uncle Tony was when I was a recent high school graduate. He , along with all my aunts and uncles, always encouraged me in my pursuit of art. The funny thing is Uncle Tony prompted me to go into commercial art in order to make money! Lol. I should have listened to him! Lol. However I pursued the life of a fine artist and professor of which I know he was still proud. It gives me great pleasure that he also loved painting and drawing. I will miss you, your kindness,your smile. Love you Uncle Tony. John

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
