Anthony C. "Tony" Plasterer

Anthony Charles "Tony" Plasterer of Lebanon died March 15, 2026, at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital in Lebanon.

Born on February 9, 1949, in Portsmouth, VA, Tony was the son of the late Helen G. Shaver and John Charles Catherine. He was adopted by Frank Plasterer of Lebanon on March 22, 1954. Tony served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was a part of the 5th Marine division, serving with the Pacific ground forces during the Vietnam Conflict. He earned multiple awards for his combat service in Vietnam. Upon military discharge Tony worked at Fort Indiantown Gap as an electrician. He was later employed as a corrections officer at the Lebanon County Correctional Facility and had worked a security detail at the Lebanon Valley Mall.

Tony had many hobbies, but by far his favorite was fishing, especially when this time was spent with his twin brother Jon E. Plasterer who preceded him in death. The family has no doubt that the two of them are probably enjoying a cold beer while fishing somewhere up in Heaven. Tony had a great sense of humor and enjoyed telling stories to his friends and family. He was a Christian who will be dearly missed by his loved ones here on earth.

Tony is survived by his long-time companion Virginia Ranee Sharp; his children H. Kathleen "Kathy" (Plasterer) wife of Barry Conlow and Donna Marie wife of Jason Schies; grandchildren: Ashley Nichole Plasterer, Bradley Edward Schies, soon to be husband of Olivia Hilal, Chad Thomas Schies husband of Hailey Jordan Schies, and Blake Richard Schies; great granddaughters Violet and Alorah Rivera; and twin great granddaughters on the way; half-brother Ronald Frank of FL; nephew Jon Eugene Plasterer, II, husband of Mary Canellara Plasterer; nieces: Amy Sue (Plasterer) wife of Eric James McCorkel, Lisa (Frank) Roepke, Alexis Frank, and Tracy (Frank) Erikson; several step-sisters; a step-brother; as well as several great nephews and nieces.

In addition to his parents and step-father, Tony was preceded in death by his twin brother Jon Eugene Plasterer.

Tony will be buried with military honors at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, April 17, 2026, at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
