Donald E. Nybeck, 87, of Palmyra, passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025, at Cedar Haven Healthcare Center.
Born in Tioga County, PA, on Dec. 17, 1937, Donald was the son of the late Albert and Alice (Brooks) Nybeck. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ethel N. (Wine) Nybeck, and daughter, Lori A. Campbell.
Donald graduated from Blossburg Joint High School, Class of 1956. He was employed at Philhaven Hospital, where he met his beloved wife, Ethel. Together, they dedicated over 50 years of service to the hospital, working side by side. Throughout his career, Donald held numerous roles, including positions in the laundry department, as an orderly, secretary, secretarial manager, and mail center manager.

Donald had a wide range of interests and hobbies. He especially enjoyed traveling, catering, cooking, camping, decorating, reading, and, most of all, spending time with his family.
