DONNA ALAMAR

Donna Arlene Alamar, age 67, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 28th following a courageous battle with brain cancer.

Born on March 1, 1953, Donna grew up in the Oxford Circle area of Northeast Philadelphia. She graduated from Northeast High School in 1970. She remained a resident of the Philadelphia area and escaped "down the shore" during the summer.

Professionally, Donna had an early career in retail and then was a receptionist promoted to assistant estimator at Fluidics. Later in life, she turned her passion for health and exercise into a career in health counseling. She used her love for fashion and health to help people look and feel their best.

Donna was a loving, sweet, and caring individual. She loved spending time with family and friends, especially her granddaughter, Jillian. She truly enjoyed entertainment at concerts and at the theatre. She could always be found in Atlantic City laying on the beach in her "pink chair." Donna was a shining member of "Supper Club," a group of friends that got together monthly to share food, drinks, laughs and stories throughout the years.

A devoted wife, mother, "mom mom," and friend, Donna is survived by her husband, Brian, her daughters, Lori (Michael) McTamney and Ali Glickstein, her younger brother, Steven Eskowitz, and her granddaughter, Jillian McTamney. Donna will be missed by her family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her honor to the University of Pennsylvania. Donations can be made at https://www.pennmedicine.org/giving/ways-to-give/gifts-in-memory-or-honor.

Due to circumstances surrounding the current pandemic, the immediate family will gather for a private service, while a memorial and celebration of Donna's life will be held at a later date.
