DeWane Leonard Otto Sr.

Wane entered the Army in 1952-1954; he was honorably discharged.

Wane married Anita (Moss) Collier on January 8, 1955 in Seattle, WA. He only worked in Seattle for 1½ years before moving to San Diego, CA where he worked in the roofing industry. He then moved to Longview, WA in 1971, then to Yakima, WA in 1974. He worked for Valley Roofing, Adkins Roofing and retired from Wagner Roofing Co. in 1993; he had 30 plus years in roofing. Dad enjoyed dancing, hunting, fishing, and camping with the family. He belonged to the American Legion, and the Eagles.

We didn’t have much, but we were rich in love and had a wonderful childhood. The best any kid could ask for. Wane and Anita had seven children.

Wane is preceded in death by his wife Anita, the love of his life; sons Terry Collier, Darren Otto, and DeWane L. Otto Jr., his parents Fred and Dora Otto, brothers Kenneth Otto, Lavern Otto and sister Margret Hanson.

He is survived by 3 sons, Marvin Collier of Tucson, AZ, Kenny (Tami) Otto of Sand Diego, CA, and David Otto of Yakima, WA, daughter Doralee (Brad) of Selah, WA, 11 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren; brothers Gerald Otto, and Mark (Lori) Otto, of River Falls, WI, sisters Donna Shafer, of Colfax, WI, Kathy (Leroy) White of Denton, TX, daughters-in-law Debbie Hastings, of Aurora, OR, Pam Otto of Yakima, WA, and son-in-law Brad Gray. He is also survived by numerous in laws, nieces, nephews and cousins.

The family would like to thank Cleo Peterson for all the loving care she gave Dad; we couldn’t have done it without her. We would also like to thank Hospice for making it possible for Dad to be home.
