Patricia Otto Obituary

OTTO Patricia M. Otto, age 71, lost her battle with cancer on Friday, October 1, 2010 at the Zusman House with her children at her side. She was born in Wisconsin Rapids, WI on May 13, 1939.

She taught herself the art of cake decorating, and over the years made very special cakes for her family and friends.

She is survived by her son, Mark (Lori) Otto; daughter, Eileen Otto; grandchildren, Courtney "Co" Otto, Matthew "May May" Otto, and Heather "Baby Cakes" Otto; sister, Judy Sarbacker and family of Portage, WI; brother, John (Donnie) Turner of Jacksonville, FL; and special friends, Joe and Dorothy Shumway. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Zusman Community Hospice for making Pat's final days peaceful. Friends may call from 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, October 5, 2010 at the SCHOEDINGER EAST CHAPEL, 5360 E. Livingston Ave., where the funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, October 6, 2010.
