JEWELL GREY OTTO STANLEY
Died Jan. 15, 2015
Jewell Grey Otto Stanley, 80, daughter of the late Edgar B. and Bertie Jones Otto, passed away Thursday.
Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Monday in the chapel of McLaurin Funeral Home, with pastor Bobby Heath officiating. Burial will follow at Knollwood Memorial Park in Clayton.
She is survived by her sister, JoAnn O. Chapman and husband, Younger M. Chapman, of Goldsboro; uncle, Paul K. Otto of Clayton; and many loving nieces, nephews and cousins.
In addition to her parents, Ms. Stanley was preceded in death by her brothers, Charlie Otto, Horace Otto and Marshall Otto.
Ms. Stanley was born and raised in Wilson Mills, where she learned the value of hard work at an early age, from picking cotton and barning tobacco to her retirement as the deputy chief of supply for the 4th Supply Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
She never had children, so she looked upon several of the airmen and women as her children, looking after them during their time of need.
She loved her Lord and savior, and was a longtime member of Stoney Creek Church.
While flowers are accepted, memorial contributions may be made to Community Baptist Church, 351 Antioch Road, Goldsboro, N.C., 27534.
The family will receive friends Monday an hour prior to the service from 1 to 2 p.m. at the funeral home.
Online condolences may be made to the Stanley family at www.mclaurinatpinecrest.com.
Arrangements are with McLaurin Funeral Home of Clayton.
