Delores J. Otto

Delores Jane Otto nee Garloch was gifted to the world on February 23, 1932. She grew up in Bellaire, Ohio. There she met and married her late husband Jimmie D. Otto on Valentine's Day 1953. After his tour of duty in Korea, they headed north toward Cleveland settling in Bedford where they lived for the majority of their 54 years of marriage together. Delores spent her life in service; to the Lord, to her husband, to her children and grandchildren, to her friends, and to anyone who was in need. She was a kind, loving and generous soul who faced Parkinson's Disease and a stroke with courage and fought through them with tenacity. She kept going until she could go no longer. Still, through all the pain and discomfort, she kept her sense of humor and was quick to share a smile - even to the very end. She was reclaimed to Heaven in the early morning hours of January 15, 2017. She leaves behind her grateful, but heart-broken family: her children- Dena Otto, Terry Otto, Lisa (Steve) Johnson; and her grandchildren- Haley Jane Otto, Lily and Lucas Johnson. Her effect on this world will live on in the hearts of all those fortunate enough to know her and she leaves a hole that will never be filled.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday, January 20, 2017 at 10 a.m. until time of service at 11a.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home, 131 N. Canton Rd. , Akron OH 44305. Minister Vernon Teagarden officiating.

Internment will take place at Western Reserve National Cemetery.
