Donna Arlene Alamar, age 67, passed away
peacefully on Saturday, March 28th follow-
ing a courageous battle with brain cancer.
Born on March 1, 1953, Donna grew up in
the Oxford Circle area of Northeast Phil-
adelphia. 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 es-
timator at Fluidics. Later in life, she turned
her passion for health and exercise into a ca-
reer 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 en-
tertainment 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 daugh-
ters, Lori (Michael) McTamney and Ali Glick-
stein, 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 re-
quests donations in her honor to the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. Donations can be
made at https://www.pennmedicine.org/giv-
ing/ways-to-give/gifts-in-memory-or-honor. Due to circumstances surrounding the cur-
rent 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.
