Millie “Dolly” A. Schwarz (née Bradley), age 77, of Elyria, peacefully entered Heaven on October 18, 2025, where she was reunited with her beloved husband of 54 years, Rich O. Schwarz.
Dolly graduated from Admiral King High School. Throughout her life, she held many different jobs, but she especially loved sharing stories from her time as a mail carrier for the city of Elyria. She later retired from the Moen faucet company after enjoying a long and fulfilling career there.
Dolly and her husband, Rich, built a beautiful life together. They spent several wonderful years living in Venice, Florida, a place they loved so much that it remained one of their favorite vacation spots after returning to Ohio. Dolly had a special gift for bringing joy to others through her humor, her kind heart, and her warm smile. She loved nothing more than gathering with family and friends, sharing laughter, stories, and her delicious home-cooked meals and baked goods that she so lovingly prepared.
Dolly is survived by her loving daughters, Jennifer Korinek (Jack) and Nancy Lenz (Bernie); cherished grandchildren, Jack IV, Anthony, and Sara (Phil); and dear siblings, her sister Gloria Gilbo and brother John Bradley (Ruth). She also leaves behind many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and lifelong friends who will forever treasure her memory.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rich O. Schwarz; son, Gregory Schwarz; parents, Mildred and Donald Bradley; brother, Donald Bradley; and sisters, Donna Palacios and Nancy.
Dolly’s warmth, humor, and kindness will forever be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her. She would want us to keep smiling and carry her joy forward.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Dolly’s life on Saturday, November 22nd, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the St. Teresa of Avila Parish Hall, 1878 Abbe Road, Sheffield Village, Ohio 44054.
