A 59-year-old Cherry Hill woman was sentenced Friday to 364 days in jail for stealing nearly $191,000 from the Riverton Country Club while she worked there as a bookkeeper.

Donna Bucia pleaded guilty last year in Superior Court in Mount Holly to one count of theft by deception and one count of failure to pay state income tax.

Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina said Bucia has since made full restitution to the club. She had pocketed funds coming into the private club from 2011 to 2015 and used the money to pay for personal living expenses, dining, and vacations.
