Phyllis Otto

05/12/1939 - 02/04/2026

Phyllis May Otto (Stok), 86, of Oregon, Ohio, passed away on February 4, 2026, in Oregon with her family by her side. She was born on May 12, 1939, in Toledo, Ohio, to Otto and Roycie (Hoxcie). Phyllis spent the majority of her childhood in Whitefish, Montana. She was very proud of her pioneer heritage. After high school, Phyllis joined the Marine Corps, where she met her future husband, Duane Otto. Duane preceded Phyllis in death after 48 years of marriage. Phyllis and Duane kept a beautiful garden in their backyard. This garden was the centerpiece for memories at Phyllis' house. Phyllis loved canning fruits and vegetables. Her homemade applesauce was something the family looked forward to every Fall. Whenever visiting with Phyllis, you would always appreciate her framed cross-stitch and handmade quilts.

Phyllis is survived by her children, Cheryl (Tom) Babiuch, Dawn McAtee, and Matt (Terri) Otto; grandchildren, Damian (Lani) and Ty (Samantha) McAtee, Hannah (Josh) Michael, Shelby and Curtis Otto; 4 great-grandchildren.

For further information on Phyllis' Celebration of Life, please contact the family. A special thank you to all of the men and women from Ohioans Home Health and Hospice who took great care of Phyllis.
