Alberta Otto, 94, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 11, 2012. She was born October 28, 1917, in Round Top, Texas. She graduated from Fayetteville High School and Modern Beauty College in Houston, Texas.
After beauty school, she and her sister Allora opened their own shop in La Grange, Texas. In 1940 she married Fred V. Otto Jr., and became a homemaker as well as the family beautician and barber. Together they had two children, Kathleen and Fred. She was an excellent cook and a very talented seamstress, providing her children and grandchildren with many beautiful outfits. Her home was always decorated for every holiday; the pink-flocked Christmas tree was a show piece. Alberta was an avid sports fan, and she found great joy attending her children’s, grandchildren’s and great-grandchildren’s games wherever they were playing. Granny set a wonderful example for those around her through love and faith. She was a member of Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Austin.
Alberta was preceded in death by her parents Alex and Emma Schroeder; beloved husband Fred V. “Bubba” Otto; loving son Fred V. Otto III; and sister Allora Bishop.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory, daughter, Kathy Norton and husband Bonard; daughter-in-law, Kathryn Otto; grandchildren, Kristi Kay Norton, B.C. Norton (Jennifer), Michael Norton (Summer), Zach Otto (Robin), Nick Otto (Angela), and Rebecca Otto; and precious great-grandchildren, Ty, Cody, Cady, Addie, Carly, Case, Ashley and Nicole, whom she adored. Granny will be greatly missed but she leaves with us many wonderful memories.
Funeral services will be held at 1:30 pm Saturday, July 14 in the Memorial Chapel of Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Funeral Home in Pflugerville, with Pastors Carl Schoss and Alan Watts officiating. Interment will be in Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Cemetery.
