As a longtime parishioner of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church and a cherished member of the East Park Ladies Auxiliary and the United Veterans League. Otecia's faith was a source of strength and inspiration in her life. She found joy in the simple pleasures-playing bingo, cooking delicious meals, fishing, and spending treasured moments at the camp and trips to the casino. Her love for her family and her passion for life were evident in everything she did.

Otecia is now reunited with her beloved husband, who predeceased her, and we take comfort in the belief that she rests peacefully in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In this time of loss, we reflect on Otecia's enduring love and the legacy she leaves behind. May her spirit continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew her, guiding us as she did through her unwavering kindness and compassion.
