Funeral service for Anthony "Donnie" Lancaster, 67, of Gadsden will be held 2pm Sunday, October 12, 2025 at The Hokes Bluff House of Prayer. Brother Chris Gaskin and Brother Mitchell Hill will be officiating the service. Burial will follow at New Bethel Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 12pm until time of service.
Donnie passed away on Thursday, October 9, 2025 at his home.
He is preceded in death by parents, Billy and Wilma Faye Lancaster; in-laws, Richard and Betty Caples; grandparents, Lomar and Ethel Lancaster, Myrtie and Doyle Reeves; and brother-in-law, William Lowman.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Pam Lancaster; daughter, Tonya (T.D.)

Donnie was a wonderful and loving husband, father, and grandfather. Donnie loved with his whole heart; always willing to help others. He attended Hokes Bluff High School and was a member of The Hokes Bluff House of Prayer for his entire life. He retired from Boatner Construction. Camping was Donnie's favorite past time. You could always find him with Reese's pieces in his shirt pocket for the little kids at church. Donnie will be missed so very much.
Pallbearers will be Trent Mayhall, Caleb Lancaster, Chad Adcock, Tyler Adcock, Chris Whitfield, Keith Latham, Scott Taylor, and Jeff Capes.
Special thanks to Wendy at ProHealth Hospice, Dr. Narayan and Staff at North Alabama Cardiology, and Bethany and Makinzy at Hokes Bluff Family Medicine.
