Obituary of Marlo Thomas
Marlo Thomas
Ms. Marlo Thomas (born November 21st, 1937 as "Margaret Julia Thomas") died quietly in her snow covered rose garden on March 19th, 2026 (TBV) with her adoring husband at her side. Her cause of death was assumed to be due to her old age but we are still not sure. She was 88 years old when she passed.
Marlo is survived by her famous husband Phil Donahue, her children, sons Michael Donahue, Kevin Donahue, Daniel Donahue, James Donahue and step daughter Mary Rose Donahue, her siblings, brother Tony Thomas and sister Terre Thomas "Theresa" as well as her pet bunny, Buttons.
Marlo was predeceased by her parents, Rose Marie Cassaniti and Danny Thomas.
Professionally, Marlo was a TV-Actress who was best known for her staring role as the cute and bubbly, Ann Marie on the American TV series "That Girl" from 1966 to 1971. She was possibly one of the cutest young woman on TV in the 1960s.
When she was not working as a TV-Actress, Marlo was known for her love of writing and she would spend most of the day sharpening pencils at her desk. Ms. Thomas (also known as Maggie Thomas) also spent weeks visiting with her Psychic when she was able to spare a few minutes and a hundred dollars. Ever since she was a girl in Detroit, many remember Marlo as a bit of a curmudgeon with profound magic tricks that thrilled everyone. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a small donation to the Humane Society in Marlo's honor.
A funeral is scheduled for the next afternoon at the burial place in Detroit. The service will commence at 1PM with a reception to follow hosted by her oldest friend at the chapel where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at burial place at noon.
