Obituary of Anita L O'Hara

Anita L. O’Hara passed away peacefully at 81 years old in her home in Denville with family by her side on June 5, 2018.  Her graceful spirit and love for life will be missed by many.

She was born to Joseph and May Klein (Stehlik) on November 7, 1936 in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.  After high school she met her husband, Peter O’Hara Sr., and moved to Maplewood, NJ.  They continued to raise their family in Denville for the last 50 years.  Anita’s family made up the core values of her life and they were blessed with many beautiful memories.  She was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother.  She loved to have fun playing tennis, bowling and creating stained glass; for she was a very talented artist. 

She leaves happy memories to her beloved husband of 61 years, Peter O’Hara Sr.; caring children Peter O’Hara Jr., Mark O’Hara (Marilyn), Tracey O’Hara (Stuart Landow), Jennifer Imbornone and Paul O’Hara; cherished grandchildren Sean, Nadia, Anita and Salvitore and many other dear relatives and friends.
