Alana M. Cardinal, of Newtown Square, PA, passed away on November 8, 2025, at the age of 36, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her.

Alana was a proud graduate of UCLA, where she received her Associates Degree. Her life was characterized by an unwavering commitment to those in need. As a counselor in the healthcare industry, she exemplified empathy and understanding, guiding individuals toward recovery with a warm heart and a listening ear.

Beyond the professional realm, Alana was a vibrant spirit who brought joy to those around her. She cherished the special bond she shared with her beloved pet dog, Minerva, who was always by her side. Alana was an avid tennis player and a passionate swimmer. She also enjoyed treasured moments spent in Sarasota and Longboat Key, Florida, where she relished the sun and sea.

Alana was the beloved daughter of Christopher Cardinal and Colleen Cardinal Kelleher. She was the loving granddaughter of Ann Kelleher (the late Paul J.), and the dear niece of Mary Ellen Kelleher. Alana is also survived by her many caring friends, colleagues, and her loving pet dog, Minerva.
