Dwilla Jean “Ozzie” Lubahn Arcadia, MI January 12th, 1931 - December 21st, 2022 Dwilla Jean “Ozzie” Lubahn passed away on December 21st, 2022 at her winter home in Gulf Shores, Alabama with her family by her side. Ozzie was 91 years old and born on January 12th, 1931 in Hamler, Ohio. She had lost and dearly missed the “Love of her Life”, Louie, on July 15th, 2021. They met at Jackson High School and were married on May 6th, 1950 and celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary prior to Louie’s passing. Louie and Ozzie had four children, Lynda (Mike) Proehl, Doug (Sue) Lubahn, Sue (Bill) Yeakle and Kathy (Dave) Bank. They were blessed with 14 Grandchildren and 19 Great Grandchildren, who will all miss their “Grandma Oz”. Ozzie had a very close and special relationship with her parents, Pete and Bern Osborn, and her brother/sister-in-law, Doug and Linda Osborn, who dearly called her “Neen”. She was blessed with many cousins, nieces/nephews, friends and crew of Angel caregivers. Raising four children kept her plenty busy. She always had a positive attitude about life which earned her the nickname, “Positive Polly”. She had to balance family demands starting with Louie’s deployment overseas, his job and his many hobbies. Over the years Ozzie held a variety of jobs which ranged from Woolworth, running fur trap lines, ironing for others, delivering stacks of newspapers, Bank Teller, Freeland Schools and Michigan Bell/AT&T Operator. She was strong in many ways, especially when she had to fight breast cancer twice and was a survivor. Ozzie was an incredible cook and this love for cooking was appreciated by all. The family will miss her amazing meals, such as; pork chops/milk gravy/mashed potatoes, roast beef, fried chicken, “shit on a shingle” and swiss steak dinners. She enjoyed playing cards, especially euchre, with family and friends. She thoroughly enjoyed these opportunities to socialize with everyone. Ozzie and Louie treasured their time playing cards and games with others. The family had many great memories at their childhood homes that she made so comfortable in Jackson, Okemos and Freeland. There were especially fun memories at their cabin at Houghton Lake. She would join in with the family on motorcycle and snowmobiling trips. She was a good sport when it came to boating and on rare occasion even sailing. We all loved the big breakfasts she made and time we had at the cabin. Before the loss of Louie, they spent solitude hours and hours watching wildlife on their porch, which included many birds, deer, turtles and gators. They had a love to travel and adventure, which included trips to Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, bus trips and many cruises Ozzie was the “glue” that stuck the family together and will be deeply missed. She had a love of a good long conversation and would stop what she was doing to talk with you at any time. Her love and interest in others was a true gift that she shared every day.
