Anna Lou Othman

Anna Lou Othman, 34, a native of San Luis Obispo, passed from this life Sunday, May 17, 2014, following a two month medical battle. Her greatest joys came from life's simple pleasures and her deep connection with animals, music and nature. As a talented photographer, she captured earth's beauty through the lens and those images will live on as our keepsake. Her amazing green thumb and cooking skills were a shared passion with her family and friends, where many fond times were spent in the garden and kitchen. She was known for her famous focaccia, and no one grew better heirloom tomatoes. She loved mountain air, giant redwoods, the sound of the Tule River and time spent at the family cabin. Being very competitive, she loved sports, card games and played a mean game of darts. She had a generous heart, sarcastic sense of humor, the best giggle and a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants spirit. We love you and cherish the precious memories. "Our hearts are here." Anna is survived by her parents, Don and Gwen Othman; sister Kala Fink (Michael); niece Elaia; Aunt Sally Davis (Tom); cousins Heather, Daniel and Christian; her fiance; and many friends. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Anna's memory to Woods Humane Society.
