It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Otto Fioretti, formerly of Martins Creek, PA. Otto passed away at Abington Manor Senior Living on January 7, 2026 at the age of 99, just 29 days before his 100th birthday.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 74 years, Virginia (Zito) Fioretti; children: Maria Dries (John) and Joni Price (LeRoy); step-granddaughter Tammy Bieber (Shayn), step-grandson Richard Dries, and step-great-grandchildren Emily and Samantha Pinnix.

Otto's life was devoted to his wife, children, parents, and sister.

He was predeceased by his son, Michael Craig, who died three months after birth, his parents, Luigi Fioretti and Concetta (Pistelli) Fioretti, and his sister Emma Fioretti.

Otto served in the United States Army during World War II from September 26, 1944, to July 30, 1946, as a Technician Fourth Grade in Battery "B" of the 203rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion serving in Germany.

Otto was employed by PPL for many years working as a plant equipment operator, retiring in 1986.

His hobbies included woodworking, bowling, golfing, and helping with the care of the grounds at Pacchioli Baseball Field. He was a member of the Slate Belt Knights of Columbus, Father DeNisco Council #3862.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, January 12, 2026, at 11:00 at the James J. Palmeri Funeral Home, 6602 Alpha Ave, Martins Creek, PA with Reverend Father Anthony P Mongiello officiating. Viewing from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM in the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Rocco's Church, PO BOX 421, Martins Creek, PA 18063.

The family would like to say a special thank you to the following for their help over the years: Sharon & Kerri Doyle, Kara Bartholomew, Donna Deez, and the girls from Kind-Hearted Hands. Also, thank you to all the wonderful caregivers at Abington Manor and Ascend Hospice.

I worked with Otto for many years at Martin's Creek Steam Electric Station. A more jovial man, I've never met. RiP. Andy Kelhart
