Eunice Mae Ott, age 97, of Lakeville, MN, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2026.

Born on November 22, 1928, Eunice grew up on a farm in Cherry Grove Township, Goodhue County, Minnesota. From an early age, she learned the values of hard work, service, and faith—principles that guided her throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John Ott; her infant brother, Sanford; siblings, Shirley Johnson and Millard Johnson; and brothers-in-law, Dick Bellows and Lyle Johnson.

Eunice is survived by her children, Tom (Jean), Greg (Becky), and Carol; her grandchildren, Carissa, Megan Houghton (Michael), Marie, David (Kasey), John (Olivia), Sam (Brandi), and Ben (Amy); and her great-grandchildren, John and Addison Houghton and George Ott. She is also survived by her sister, Lois Bellows; sisters-in-law, Nancy Johnson and Dorothy Short; and many other loving relatives and friends.

Eunice was a registered dietitian who devoted her career to improving health through nutrition. She and her husband were longtime, deeply involved members of Christiania Lutheran Church. Eunice especially loved attending her grandchildren's activities and family gatherings, always showing up with encouragement and pride.

Eunice resided for five years at Beehive Homes of Lakeville, where she received compassionate and attentive care. Her family is deeply grateful for the kindness, dignity, and support she received during her time there.
