Donna Marie, (nee Virgili) age 69, on September 16, 2025, of Philadelphia, PA, formerly of Overbrook.
Donna enjoyed gardening, crocheting, and doing craft projects with her grandchildren. She loved the simple things in life like chocolate and binge watching her favorite shows with her daughter. She was one of the founding members of "The Coffee Clutch" and enjoyed many mornings with Anna (Nonna) DiNardis. She was an avid reader and loved doing crossword puzzles in her spare time. She looked forward to and loved every single holiday with her family. Donna was a selfless person who always put others first, especially her two daughters. She was the best mother and protector even if she did not have that herself. Her voice and presence could fill a room. She leaves her family with a lifetime of memories and love.
Predeceased by her parents, Mildred (nee Weinstein) and Virgil Virgili.
Survived by her daughters, Diana DiNardis (Scott) and Rachel McClellan, her grandchildren, Santino and Isabella DiNardis (her baby chicks), her siblings, William Virgili, JoAnn Maiale, and Kathleen Pino and her stepfather Mitchell Weinstein. She is also survived by her many nieces and nephews, Charles Pino, Lucille Tarin (Adam), Mario Maiale, Melissa McClellan (Christian), Amanda Sands, Angela Lanni (Lawrence James), Emma Maiale, and her great nephews Cameron, Angelo, Dominic, and Joseph.
