Noblit

Donald L. Noblit, 84, of Rotonda West, Fla., formerly of Westfield, Mass., and North Washington, Pa., passed away Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, in Florida.

Born on Dec. 7, 1941, in West Sunbury, he was the son of Lawrence and Lois (Barkley) Noblit.

Don proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1962 to 1965. Following his military service, he built a long and respected career with Servistar Corporation, retiring as a district manager. He was Presbyterian by faith.

On Jan. 28, 1961, Don married Karen Y. Hindman and together they shared 55 years of marriage until her passing on Dec. 18, 2016. Don was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, whose greatest joy came from time spent with his family. Don was a natural storyteller with a quick sense of humor, a lifelong appreciation for old cars and an undeniable soft spot for cats.

He is survived by his daughter, Gina Noblit Giannetti and husband, Vin, of Massachusetts; his son, Joe Noblit and wife, Karen, of Florida; five grandchildren, Nick (Brenna), Conner (Maggie), Jake (Danielle), Tori (Aaron) and Christopher (Julia); and one great-grandson, Wesley. Don also leaves behind his special friend, Brenda Dorsett, of Port Charlotte, Fla.; as well as two brothers, Phil Noblit, of Port Charlotte, Fla., and Dan Noblit, of Lansdale, Pa.
