DAILY TIMES OBITUARIES FOR JAN. 23

Donna M. Chiaro O’Hara, 51,

Devoted volunteer; enjoyed her family

Donna M. Chiaro O’Hara, 51, of Chadds Ford, a special projects manager for LHK Partners in Newtown Square, died Jan. 20 at home after a long battle with metastatic breast cancer.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Mrs. O’Hara grew up in Lyndhurst, N.J., and graduated from Rutgers University-Newark with a degree in medical technology. She later obtained a master’s degree in business administration from Temple University.

With the DBCC, she mentored other women with advanced breast cancer and was a member of the research committee, striving to increase participation in clinical trials locally and nationally.

Mrs. O’Hara enjoyed traveling with her family and incorporating their favorite activities, such as skiing, hiking and horseback riding, along the way.

She was grateful to those who touched her life in a positive way, including family, friends and her team of doctors and medical staff.

Survivors: Husband of 26 years, Kevin W. O’Hara; sons, Bryan O’Hara and Sean O’Hara; parents, Nick and Grace Chiaro; brother, Anthony Chiaro.
