Phyllis Otte
Phyllis Jackman Otte died on July 2, 2015, at the age of 92 after a well-lived life. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on June 9, 1923, to Harold T. and Ruth Edwards Jackman.
She was preceded in death by George E. Otte, her husband of 59 years. They were devoted to each other and enjoyed each other’s company. She accompanied George, an executive with AMSCO, to many foreign countries. She especially liked the Philippines, Japan and South Africa.
Phyllis is survived by four children: Sheryl (Stephen) Lucas of SCC; Jim (Albina) Otte of SCC; Donn (Susan) Otte of Sanford, N.C.; and Linda (Mark, dec.) Grabowski of SCC. She had 10 grandchildren: Larry (dec.), Matthew, Amanda (Relihan) and Thomas Lucas; Jamin Otte; Christine (Renteria), Michael and Geoffrey Otte; and Galen and Alexis Grabowski. She enjoyed her eight great-grandchildren and named herself GiGi (Great Grandma).
She and George retired to Carolina Shores, N.C., in 1983, then they moved to Florida in 1995. In Sun City Center they first lived on Middle Lake; then she moved to Aston Gardens, Homewood and Palm Garden.
Phyllis was a member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church. She was an avid golfer. Her many other interests included volunteering, painting, music and dancing, bridge, quilting, entertaining and bird watching. She also enjoyed traveling and loved her maps.
The family would like to express its gratitude to the staff at Palm Garden for their care of our mother. Special thanks to the totally volunteer Sun City Center Emergency Squad. They enable residents to stay in their homes for as long as they are able.
Memorials may be sent to Sun City Center Emergency Squad, 720 Ray Watson Drive, Sun City Center, FL 33573.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, July 20, at Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Sun City Center. Interment will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 21, at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell.
