Donald G. Ebner, Fidelity Bank retiree

Donald G. Ebner, 94, of Lewes, passed away at home peacefully in his sleep Thursday, July 27, 2023, surrounded by family and his beloved pet, BB. He will be remembered for his sense of humor and loving ways. He loved his family more than anything else. You could find him most days sitting on his porch watching his ducks in the pond and all the wildlife outside the windows. In the fall and winter, he religiously watched the Eagles along with his daughter.  

Donald was born and raised in Philadelphia, and grew up in Delaware County. He married the love of his life, Dorcas, in 1950, and served in the Navy during the Korean War. He then had a long and successful career at Fidelity Bank before retiring after 40 years. After retirement, he moved with his wife to Lewes, where he became a member of Conley’s United Methodist Church, American Legion Post 28, and the Elks. He also worked with Lend-a-Hand.

He was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. Donald is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Dorcas; his sister and brothers; and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. He is survived by his daughter, Gail Ebner Jones; and son, Bruce Ebner (Nancy); grandchildren, Chris Ebner (Misty) and Kimberly Chandler (James); great-grandchildren, Wyatt, Kyle and Shawn Chandler; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 10, at Conley’s Chapel, 22150 Robinsonville Road, Lewes, with visitation beginning at 10 a.m.
