Marion Doris (Divinecz) O'Breza

BARBERTON---Marion prayed every day.  After being diagnosed with a terminal illness a year ago, she finally decided that her work here was done.  She asked God to do something.  Marion O’Breza, 87, passed away on Friday May 11, 2018.

Marion was born in Kenmore, Ohio.  She was active in the Kenmore Class of 1949 Alumni and a member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church.

Her family was her legacy.  Marion loved to spend time with her daughters and all the children.  She taught them what it means to be a family.  She also was the force that kept family together near and far.

She was preceded in death by William F. O’Breza, her loving husband of 62 years.  She was also preceded by her parents Julia and Michael Divinecz.
