Michaela Otto-Jacob Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 27 to Jul. 29, 2009.
OBITUARY MICHAELA CHARLOTTE OTTO-JACOB Died peacefully at the Providence Hospital in Magog, QC, at the age of seventy-four. Michele was the devoted wife of Carl Heinrich Otto and the loving mother of Christina Helene, Valerie Beatrice and Caroline Yvonne Elisabeth. She was loved by her sons-in-law Robert Lorne Katz, James Murphy McLain and Thomas Richard Gorman, and by her grandchildren Marcus Jacob, Luca Henry Otto, Gabriela Caroline, Madeline Michelle and Beatrice Christina. She was adored as well by her sister Friederike Jacob and loved by her brothers-in-law Arnold Kloepfer and Hubert Otto and by her sisters-in-law Brigitte von Holzing, Elisabeth Plug and Yvonne Muller-Kommerell. Michele was an accomplished artist, having studied in Munich, Paris and Montreal. She was a major contributor to art exhibitions in the Eastern Townships. As a gifted musician and soprano, Michele was a dedicated member of the famous Georgeville Occasional Choir. She was also a talented landscaper and gardener, turning the one-hundred and nine year old Otter Point into one of the most beautiful places on her beloved Lake Memphremagog. We wish to give special thanks to the doctors, nurses, caregivers and volunteers who made Michele so comfortable during the final months of her life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Memphremagog Hospital Foundation, 50 St-Patrice East, Magog, QC, J1X-3X3. The service will be held at the St. George's Church in Georgeville on Thursday, July 30 at 11 a.m.

Liebe Familie Otto,
mit großem Bedauern habe ich vom Tod meiner Namensgeberin erfahren. Gerne hätte ich sie näher kennengelernt - aus den Erzählungen meiner Mami weiß ich jedoch, dass sie eine wundervolle Frau mit großem Herzen war.
Mit tiefem Mitgefühl

Lieber Carl,
mit Bestürzung habe ich in der SZ von Michls Tod gelesen.
Ihre und Eure Fürsorge und Unterstützung war für mich eine unendliche Bereicherung und hat mir in schweren Zeiten sehr geholfen. Ich werde "die Michl" nie vergessen und wünsche Dir und den Mädchen viel Kraft diese schwere Zeit der Trauer zu überstehen.
Eure Didi
