Obituary

Mary Moore Otis, 93, took her heavenly flight on May 4, 2013, with two of her daughters being present. She was dearly loved by her family and blessed and highly favored of the Lord. Born March 26, 1920, in Wilco, Mississippi, to Verdia Washington and Samuel Moore, she was an only child. After her marriage in 1939 to Clyde Otis, Sr (deceased) of Carson, Mississippi, they ended up moving north to Akron in 1944. Being an only child, she would often say to her eight children to "make friends out of your own brothers and sisters." Her retirement from Brecksville Veterans Hospital after 25 years of devoted service allowed her to even more so continue the activities she enjoyed - Bingo, casinos, Bingo, horse races, Bingo.. .and did I forget to mention Bingo?
