Ida Otto Obituary
Yonkers - Ida Otto (née Pasquale), proud life-long resident of Yonkers, NY, passed in peace on June 1st at the age of 84 surrounded by her family. Daughter of Vincent and Genoveffa. Preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Ted. Loving mother of Lisa (Jeff), Karen, Ted, Gary, Nancy and Dan (Felicia). Devoted grandmother of Matthew, Kevin, Jessica, Caitlyn, Paige and Brianna. Preceded in death by her cherished sister, Mary, and dear brothers Nicholas and Anthony. Survived by much-loved brothers Gabriel and Robert, many nieces and nephews, and countless friends, including her partner-in-crime of 62 years, Sophie Osborne. Ida helped run a successful real estate and insurance agency with her husband, later joined by son, Gary. She will be fondly remembered as fiercely independent, humble, charitable, spirited and as a patriotic American. Ida was a devout Catholic and advocate for her local community. She enjoyed reminiscing about her early years growing up in the Park Hill section and loved her home, travel, Frank Sinatra, Costco and, most of all, Empire City Casino. Ida will be missed by many.

Lisa, Ted, Karen, Gary, Nancy, and Danny we are so sorry for you loss we know there is no way of ever preparing for our parents to leave us. Aunt Ida always put smiles on our faces whenever we heard her voice. She and Uncle Ted always made our visits so very special. You all have given us memories that we will always enjoy and never forget. I was so grateful that Amanda and Patrick were able to visit her and of course she made a lasting impression. I wish were not so far away because we never have had as much time together that we wish we could have had.
Mike and Joyce Otto

Our most sincere condolences to the Pasquale and Otto families. Ida was loved so much by so many. Heaven gained another angel. I enjoyed our little chats when she phoned my mother Ellen Casagrande ( Idas Godmother). My mom has always spoken about Ida with genuine love and admiration. She will be so missed. My mom so loved her. Ida sent my mom the sweetest cards which made my mom feel so loved and special. I truly appreciate her concern and generously. She was awesome ! Thanks, Ida.
