Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

Our beloved mother, went to be with our Lord on Thursday, November 26, 2020, of Whitehall.

Wife of the late Albert Sr.; mother of Richard (Nancy) Palamara, James (Celeste) Palamara, Ken (Nancy) Palamara, Claire (Glenn Sr.) Wallace, Albert (Michele) Palamara Jr. and John (Terri) Palamara; loving grandmother of 12 and great-grandmother of three; sister of Carol (Jack) McCollum and the late Joe (survived by MaryAnn) Kummer, Bob (Rose) Kummer and Norman Jr. ; daughter of the late Norman Sr. and Clara Kummer. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Marilyn was an accomplished artist who won numerous awards and taught portrait classes at local colleges. Painting was one of her greatest joys, as were trips to Europe and the beach. Her selfless and loving nature, plus her endless devotion to the Catholic Faith made her our cherished mother who will be greatly missed. Please say a prayer for the repose of her soul. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. Arrangements handled by the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227.
