Margaret Marie O'Brien Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

O’Brien Margaret “Dolly” 1928-2015 Margaret “Dolly” (Milano) O’Brien, 87, of Toledo, OH, died peacefully on December 6, 2015, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio in Perrysburg, surrounded by family. Born November 12, 1928 in New York, she was the daughter of the late Angelina and Angelo Joseph Milano. Margaret started her own successful finishing school, Margaret O’Brien’s International Modeling Agency (1963-2000). During that time, she passionately taught social graces, proper etiquette, photography, and runway modeling to thousands of people; many dreaming of one day being discovered. However, her main objective for each student was self-improvement, hoping to build confidence. Her belief was that, “Beauty comes from within and radiates outwardly!” Being a life coach and having a genuine concern and compassion for helping others allowed Margaret to assist many in being the best they could be. She is survived by her beloved husband, James Lavern O’Brien (90), a retired template-maker at the former Libby-Owens-Ford Company, sister, Rosie (Milano) Brown (Chuck); brother, Dominic Milano; sister in law, Judy Milano; two sons, James R. O’Brien and Kelly (Leslie) O’Brien; grandchildren, Kelly II (Danielle), Chalie, Spencer, Maggie, Jim (Adrienne), Mike (Sarah), Danny (Karen); and four beautiful great grandchildren. The family wishes to thank Lou LaGatta, a dear friend, pastor, and counselor, for his genuine care and kindness. Visitation will be held Wednesday, December 10, 2015 from 2:00pm to 8:00pm at Ansberg-West Funeral Home, 3000 Sylvania Avenue, where a funeral service will be held 10:00am Thursday.
