I graduated St Thomas in 1990 and of course Mrs. O'Brien was my 8th grade teacher. Even when we were punk students, which was frequent, she was patient. Many years after graduation, when back in town, I'd visit, and she'd still be there and she remembered. Lots of reading and other studies but her art projects were the best and I have saved many of them to this day. Pretty sure that was everyone's favorite class. We painted those ceramic dolls for a whole month. Mrs. O'Brien always finished the eyes for everyone b/c they were the trickiest. Another good one was the train coming out of a tunnel to learn to draw with perspective hallways filled with artwork, textbooks and piles of papers to grade on Mrs. O'Brien's desk are a few memories.
Thanks Mrs. O'Brien! You made a difference!

Dear O'Brien Family, please accept my condolences on the passing of "Mrs OBrien " from one of her thousands of St. Thomas students, she was ahead of her time in my mind....very strong forward thinking woman and a sharp dresser, who I always would think back on......my mother just told me about Mrs. O'Brien's passing and I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend. A great educator who touched many lives.
With Love Sue McCormick

Dear Michelle, John(O), and Karen ~ I am so sorry for your loss of your dear Mom. Her obituary is so beautifully written and the slide show is such a tribute to her. It is clear that she embraced life and was truly loved by her core family. It seems that she adored her grandchildren. Such vivid early childhood memories rush back as I look at her smile. Her voice is so clear in my mind. Her quick wit was her trademark. I remember singing "Seasons in the Sun" on the front porch, watching Zoom in your living room, (We didn't get PBS), and being infatuated with the deliveries of cans of Charlie's chips. (Wow... a long time ago.) Cherish the happy memories. May they soon bring you comfort and replace your heartache. Sincerely, Lynn Foley

I was a voice on the phone since I had met Michelle. I’m going to miss the fun I enjoyed picking on her Miami Dolphins. She enjoyed the times I informed her that the Dolphins game would be televised on the upcoming weekend. I really enjoyed talking with her from time to time. I’m going to miss her. Here’s praying for her to rest in peace.

I am one of the thousands of students whose life was shaped by “Mrs O’Brien” and am saddened she is no longer of this world. It was 1971 and I bought her a coin jar for Christmas from money I had saved that read “Retirement Fund” , she loved it. My condolences to her family, her legacy lives on in all the boys and girls she touched over the years.

I had Miss Gorzynski for third grade at St James & absolutely loved her! I remember her leaning back against her desk with her high heels on - quite impressive to a third grader used to having nuns as teachers. Besides her style - she was a great teacher!
She started my love of grammar. My condolences to all her family & friends.

Your mother was a spitfire who brightened a day with her smile
Always so kind and inviting, she made her famous chocolate cake on several occasions and I will always remember her for that

The Nuttalls have four children who were fortunate enough to have Mrs. O’Brien as their teacher! She was always supportive and caring. She became a good friend to us over the years. We hope she knew how many lives she truly touched!
