(Beistline) Otte, married Raymond W. Carlson on April 11, 1942, and lived most of her life in York, NE. She retired in 1999 and was well liked and loved by the community she lived in. Friends and family adored her and will truly miss her warm smile and friendly attitude to life. She truly had a heart of gold. Many friends commented that she was a mother to them over the years.
