Dorothy Otting died on May 26, 2025, at Fairhaven Senior Services in Whitewater.
She was born to Leo and Josephine Levasseur on April 3, 1931, in Cedar Rapids, IA.
She married Kenneth Otting on June 7, 1952, in Marion, IA, and the couple enjoyed 65 years together. Ken passed away in September of 2017. She taught elementary children at Delavan School District, retiring in 1992.
Beginning in 1971, she and ken traveled the world together – first on their own and then with tour groups. The couple continued their beloved hobby until age and declining health left them unable to do so.
She and ken will be buried at Hillside Cemetery in Whitewater. Per her wishes, there will be no formal services.
Memorials may be made to the Kenneth A. and Dorothy A. Otting Scholarship Fund at UW-Whitewater.
A special thank you to the staff of Agrace Hospice.
