Mary Taylor Otteni's Obituary
Mary Taylor Otteni, 72, passed away on July 15, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. Mary was born on January 16, 1951, in Harrisburg, PA to Dorothy Peters Cluley and Allen Taylor. They moved to Florida in 1969. Mary enjoyed a long career as a cosmetologist for 53 years here in Palmetto, FL. Mary also enjoyed volunteering at the Manatee Players and helping with shows. She advocated for the arts; and loved listening to music, especially the Beatles. Mary’s bubbly personality and love for making people feel beautiful helped gain her many friends and acquaintances throughout the years. However, Mary’s greatest joy was spending time with her family and friends, helping them by listening, giving advice, or just being present with them. Mary is survived by the love of her life and husband of 44 years David Otteni; children: Sherry Hunter, Dawn Hunter; and Marlena Hunter; seven grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; brother: Kenneth Cluley and his wife Charlene and a host of other family and friends.
