BERGMAN Nancy Levin Bergman passed away on Au-
gust 2, 2020 at age 90. Nancy was born and
raised in Philadelphia. She was one of three
daughters, along with Millicent and Vilma,
born to Rose and David Levin. Nancy gradu-

She received her B.S. in Art Education from
Moore College of Art in 1952. She taught
shop, mechanical drawing, and art at
Narberth Elementary School and City Center
Elementary School. She later became a fiber
artist and showed her work in Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Coral Gables, and Wilmington.
Nancy met David Bergman on her 18th birth-
day on the first day of camp as counselors at
the YMHA camp in Zieglersville, PA. They
married 3 years later in 1951, and they had 3
children: Leah (now deceased), Drew, and

travel extensively in the United States and
visited 88 countries from Point Barrow in
Alaska to Antarctica in the south. Her favor-
ite trips included a Palace on Wheels in India,
Bali, the Greek Isles, and six trips to Israel to

husband, the perfect wife. She is survived by

Bernard Joseph Diamond died at age 85 on
Saturday, August 8, 2020. His personality
was larger than life and he instantly lit up
every room he entered. He had an irreverent
sense of humor, and stunning blue eyes that
would make anyone fall in love with him. He
was the love of MANY ladies’ lives...a bright
light to his children, and as a Poppop he was
cooler than the average Zayda. He was a lov-
er of women, parties, dogs and vodka on the
rocks, and could “eyeball” anyone with more
accuracy of their weight than a doctors scale.
In addition to be an avid golfer, skier and
bridge player, he was a star football player
for Overbrook High School. He was gradu-
ated from Temple University with a Bachel-
ors of Science Degree. He is survived by
children Barry Diamond, Melissa Samschick,
Christopher Diamond, and grandchildren
Austin, Cole, and Lucas Samschick, and
Samantha and Tyler Diamond, As well as
many loving nieces and nephews. He is also
survived by his true love Fleurette Gilman
Wattenmaker. Anxiously awaiting his arrival
are parents Ethel and Nathan Diamond, sis-
ter and brother-in-law Esther and Marty
Rosenthal, and brother Harold Diamond. As
expected, his mother will be waiting for him
with his toast butter and Cheerios with milk.
Immediately following his snack there will be
a “raging” party which will include his many
colorful friends who have preceded him in
death. As per his M.O., there will be a long
line of women waiting and he will surely be
uttering the words “How Sweet It Is”

DONALD Binnie Donald (nee Schuman) of Wayne, PA
passed away on July 28, 2020 in her home
surrounded by her family. Beloved wife of D.
James "Don" Donald for 53 years, loving
mother of Melissa (Michael) Donovan and
adoring “Grammie” to Sofia, Asher and
Joshua. She is also survived by the cher-
ished families of her late siblings Gail Mor-
genstern and Stuart Schuman. Binnie grew
up in Philadelphia, graduated from Over-
brook High School, and loved her summers
as a youth spent at Camp Akiba and down the
shore in Atlantic City. She earned her Bachel-
or’s in Education from the University of
Pennsylvania in 1961 and, thereafter, be-
came a French and Spanish teacher in the
Lower Merion School District where she met
her husband Don. Binnie was known for her
kindness, devotion to family, enduring friend-
ships, lifelong French study, involvement in
Congregation Or Shalom and, notably, her six
decades as a volunteer leader for Penn’s As-
sociation of Alumnae. She received the 1984
Penn Alumni Award of Merit and remained
continuously active in Class of ‘61 commu-
nications, events and reunions. Binnie would
frequently say that Penn is forever “locked in
my heart.” She treasured all of her com-
munities, her volunteer work, her strong
bonds with high school and college friends,
rooting for the Phillies, and most of all,
spending time with her beloved husband,
daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. Bin-
nie’s warm smile, sincerity, and loving nature
will be remembered as a blessing to all who
knew her. Burial took place at Har Jehuda
Cemetery, Upper Darby, PA. Contributions in
her memory can be made to the University of
Pennsylvania Association of Alumnae Schol-
arship/Gift Fund.
