Donna Lynne Anthony-McLeod, 61, of Orlando, passed away on September 16th, 2021.

Donna was born on December 4, 1959 in Brooklyn, New York to Myrane and Joanne (Kelly) Anthony. She spent most of her childhood, teen, and early adult years in Brooklyn and Queens New York. She would graduate from Grover Cleveland High School.

Donna lived an amazing life with a kind and free spirit. When she was little, her and her family traveled and visited parts of the contiguous United States each year. She enjoyed sharing stories of the sights she had seen and how much of the U.S she had visited. As a teenager, Donna enjoyed riding her bike all around New York and partaking in archery. She enjoyed staying active and traveling around her home state. As a young adult, Donna would meet her future husband, Michael, in New York. They would soon decide to move down to Orlando, Florida together to get married and start their own family together. They would have four beautiful children together whom they loved dearly.

Aside from her family, Donna was very proud of her career. She had spent 26 magical years as a Disney cast member. She made so many friends who became her extended family along the way. She enjoyed working for Disney and frequenting the parks whenever she could.

In her free time, Donna enjoyed reading and catching up on any interesting shows. She liked going to the beach or near lakes to relax and enjoy the beauty of the natural world. A special activity that she enjoyed was taking trips with her daughter, Courtney, to watch moon rises at Cocoa Beach. Donna also enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.

Donna is predeceased by her father, Myrane; mother, Joanne; and sister, Debra. She is survived by her sister, Cindy; children, Lauren, Colin, Courtney and Brian; and grandchildren Dean, Willow and Lily.
