Marilyn Francis Ottopal (nee Maier), age 84, went to be with her Lord on June 10, 2020, after a long illness. Marilyn is survived by her beloved husband of 64 years, Edward Ottopal. Marilyn was born on August 25, 1935, and spent her life living in Cincinnati. Almost her entire married life was spent living in the home Ed built for their family in Blue Ash.

Marilyn attended Regina High School where she made lifelong friendships. Until recently, she met regularly with her club which comprised of friendships spanning decades of her life. She was actively involved in her parish at All Saints Catholic Church and the Blue Ash Woman's Club.

She loved to bake and used that skill to help raise money for both the Church and the Club. In addition to baking, she loved large family gatherings, fishing, spending the summer in the upper peninsula of Michigan, and watching the Bachelor.

Her kind heart and helpful nature will be missed by many.
