Born June 23, 1938, in South Bend, Indiana, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Mary (Wechnerowski) Otolski.

She will be remembered as a gifted homemaker who was proud to create a warm and welcoming home. She enjoyed cooking, playing cards, relaxing with an ice cold beer, shopping, and spending time with family and friends at the cabin on Buck Lake.
