Jennifer Ellen Farley, 55, previously pleaded guilty to felony counts of access device fraud and theft.
During a sentencing hearing, Luzerne County President Judge Michael T. Vough sentenced Farley to 36 months of probation.
Farley had been free on $10,000 unsecured bail since her arrest last March.
Prosecutors said Farley stole the money using a recreation board debit card over a 2½-week period starting Feb. 28, 2020.
Investigators said the card was used to make 30 transactions during that period from six locations in Freeland and one in West Hazleton, and that surveillance footage showed Farley using the card at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post, Convenient Mart, Simply Smokes and Sona Mart.
