Margaret Milowicki Obituary Margaret Elizabeth Milowicki, a beacon of love and kindness, passed away peacefully on June 28, 2025, in Anaheim, California, at the age of 95. Born on April 22, 1930, in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, Margaret's life was a testament to the power of love, family, and faith.
Margaret's journey began as a young girl in Lyndhurst, where she attended local schools and graduated from Lyndhurst High School. It was in her vibrant twenties that she encountered Frank John Milowicki on an unexpected blind date. Though not the intended match of the evening, they found an immediate connection, a spark that would ignite a lifetime of love. Their courtship continued through Frank's service in the Navy, with letters crossing oceans and continents, weaving the tapestry of their future together. Upon his return, they married and embarked on an enduring partnership that would span over seven decades.
Together, Margaret and Frank celebrated 72 years of marriage, filled with joy, challenges, and an unwavering commitment to each other. They planted their roots in New Jersey but were soon drawn to the allure of Southern California's sunshine, where they decided to raise their family.
As a homemaker, Margaret's days were filled with the care and nurturing of her beloved husband and their six children: Frank Jr., Don, and Tom Milowicki, Margaret Smith, Patti Eccles, and Mary Ann Gomez. She was the heart of the home, creating an environment that was both welcoming and warm. Her legacy continues with her sixteen grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren, each of whom she cherished deeply.
Margaret's creative spirit shone through her needlepoint, crocheting, sewing, floral arrangements, and painting. Her hands were rarely still, and the beauty she crafted was a reflection of her inner grace. Traveling with her family across the United States, she relished in the adventure of exploring new places and the joy of creating lasting memories.
Her strong Catholic faith was a cornerstone of her life, guiding her actions and nurturing a home where values and beliefs were shared and celebrated. Margaret's selfless nature, loving demeanor, and kindness touched the lives of all who knew her. She was a woman whose strength was matched only by her compassion, and her legacy is one of unwavering love and devotion to her family.
Margaret Elizabeth Milowicki's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with the threads of love, faith, and family. As we bid farewell to this remarkable woman, we hold tight to the memories and the lessons she imparted. Her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us, and her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those she loved. Rest in peace, dear Margaret, your life was a masterpiece of love's enduring power.
