GIBLIN

Barbara Ann, (nee Dona) age 80, on September 11, 2025, of Glen Mills, PA, originally from Overbrook Park.  

Predeceased by her parents, Mary R. (nee Corini) and Michael A. Dona.

Survived by her husband, James T. Giblin, her children, James M. Giblin and Jennifer M. DiPillo (Vince), her brother, Michael Dona, and many extended relatives.

Barb was adored by her husband of almost 60 years.  Her children will miss the stories she told about her life growing up and her never-ending advice.  She will be missed by her grandchildren who affectionately referred to her as Granny.  Granny was always there for Vincent, A.J. and Daphne.  She proudly attended all their important school, life, and sporting events.  Barb was headstrong and determined to do things her way.  Her famous catchphrase “nothing’s good”, was used jokingly.  She loved Elvis, the Eagles, a clean house, her amazing doll collection and taking care of her many plants.  You could always find her on the dance floor at any event.  She enjoyed needlepoint, mahjong and puzzle games.  She loved her grand dogs often playing with them until they were exhausted. Her amazing recipes for meatballs and Italian wedding soupwill live on.    

Relatives and Friends are invited to her Viewing Friday, September 19th, 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM followed by her Funeral Service 11:00 AM in the Main Chapel at the DAnjolell Memorial Home of Broomall, 2811 West Chester Pike, Broomall, PA 19008. Interment Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery.
