Beverly Otter Obituary

Beverly C. Otter
3/22/1930 - 11/14/2017
Resident of San Jose
Beverly was born on Mar. 22, 1930 in Oakland, CA to her parents, Ira and Signe Clift. It was during the depression. Ira was in construction, so they moved where the job was. He finally was hired at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, so the family moved to Napa where she spent the rest of her youth on a small farm. During her high school days, she became a Worthy Advisor in Rainbow Girls. Following high school, she enrolled in San Jose State College where she met Larry. He worked in the kitchen where she lived with 91 other coeds. He chose her! They were married on June 21, 1952 and enjoyed 65 years of marital bliss.
She was predeceased by her parents and younger sister Marilyn. She is survived by her husband Lorrence (Larry), Son Marshall (Jennifer Hops), Daughters Jenny and Amy (Ron Sgarlato), Granddaughters Rachelle Sgarlato, Haley and Katrina Totten, Sarah Pierini (Brian), Grandsons Zane and Troy, Great-Grandsons Giovanni, and Campbell, Great-Granddaughter Kylah, her sisters husband Guy and the Miller Children.
Beverly was a true Democrat and a life member of AAUW. She believed in human kindness and love for all. She was warmly loved by friends, neighbors, family, and especially her devoted husband Larry.
Beverly enjoyed good health until just a few years ago except being a breast cancer survivor for 22 years. Recently, she suffered from various maladies until her passing. She is now "Up there, Sitting on the bench, saving a seat for Larry."
