Myriam Fowlkes Saldaña

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Myriam Fowlkes Saldaña, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, on Thursday, April 24, 2025. Myriam was born on April 10, 1940, in Vieques, Puerto Rico, to Jorge Saldaña and Ana Lopez Saldaña. She was the widowed of Donald Fowlkes and the mother to two children, Frank and Donna.
 

Myriam was known for her strong will and independence. She was feisty, fiery and funny. She was honest and straightforward. She had an infectious laugh. She was honest and straightforward. She was short in stature but tall in every other way. She had faith in God, and she knew the true meaning of friendship. She was a lifelong resident of Philadelphia and enjoyed going out in the city almost every day, traveling and most of all going to the casinos. Myriam is survived by her son, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her memory will be cherished forever.

Flowers can be ordered from Riehs Florist.
