She was born on April 6, 1931 in Watertown, Ohio, daughter of the late Saul and Elvina (Reinwald) Mindling. “Lottie” graduated from White Cross Methodist Nurses School, Columbus, Ohio, in 1952, and thrived as a medical-surgery nurse.

She devoted herself to raising her two daughters Amy (Dale) Erickson and Ellen Marmon. Lottie enjoyed working in her flower beds and reading a good book.

Preceding her in death were her husband of 56 years, Earl F. Marmon; brother, Charles Mindling; sister, Leah (Mindling) Abrams; and grandson, Daniel Erickson.
