Bonnie Claire Babcock Ottow 1932-2013
Obit from Beloit Daily News
DELAVAN – Bonnie C. Ottow, age 85, of Delavan formerly of Beloit was called home by her Lord on Saturday, August 11, 2018 at Beloit Health and Rehab. She was born in Beloit on March 10, 1933 to Henry and Elvira (Buske) Babcock. Bonnie was united in marriage to Duane Ottow on January 1, 1953 and at the time of his death on March 10, 2013, they had been married 60 years.
Bonnie is survived by two beloved grandsons, Erik (Rebecca) Ottow, and Neal Ottow; and two great granddaughters, Anna and Kayle.
Bonnie joined her husband and their daughter, Heather, who died on October 10, 2012.
She was not afraid of death for she felt she had been given a wonderful life, but her health was failing the last years and she was anxious to be with her husband again.
Weep not in tears of sorrow because I've gone away.
But weep with tears of gladness for the peace I have today.
I know your hearts are heavy with sorrow that you bear.
But God has called me home, my place is ready there.
My stay on Earth's completed, my final rest is won.
I've received the richest blessing to dwell with God's own Son.
Bonnie was raised with a deep faith and deeply loved her family members. She worked in the church office and maintained her typing skills with weekly letters sent out to a list of family and friends. She was especially close to her Aunt Gertie and cousin Dolores, Gertie's daughter. The girls were very much like sisters and spent as much time together as possible their entire lives.
