Lorna Mary Anton, "Molly", of Lehigh Acres, FL, and formerly of Naples, FL, passed away March 17, 2023, at home, while under Hospice care. Molly was born on August 5, 1957, in Massachusetts, where she grew up. She was a member of Belmont High School's graduating class of 1975. Molly continued her studies, graduating from Allegheny College in Meadville, PA., and then the University of New England in Biddeford Pool, Maine. Upon graduating, she pursued a career in Occupational Therapy that spanned over 40 years.
She traveled extensively and lived in many of our United States, including Massachusetts, Maine, Kansas, Louisiana, and California. Anyone who knew Molly would say she was one of the most giving people they know.
Molly leaves behind her loving husband, Randy Anton, and son, Emerick Anton, of Lehigh Acres, FL., both of whom provided her with amazing, and loving care, including, but not limited to, her final days. She also leaves behind her father, John J. McGrory of Bonita Springs, FL.; brothers, John G. McGrory of San Carlos, FL., Daniel P. McGrory of Fort Myers; her sister, Kathleen M. "Kate" Foran, as well as many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother, Lorna T. McGrory.
Molly was a very active communicant of her parish, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. When one thinks of the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, particularly "It is in giving that we receive", Molly will sure come to mind. There will be a private viewing for the family. Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 AM Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Naples. The family will be receiving friends at the church beginning at 10:15 AM until the time of the Mass. Inurnment will follow in St. John's Memorial Garden.
The family suggests that memorial donations in memory of Molly be made to either Faith Formation at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church or to the Community Pregnancy Clinics - Naples 940 5th Ave. No., Naples, FL 34102.
