Earline Sobota O'Toole, 91, was called to heaven July 27, 2023 at the home of her daughter. She suffered with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. She was born to Earl and Anita Cooper on November 24, 1931. She would come to marry her grade school sweetheart, Arthur Sobota, who she shared 30 years with until his passing in 1987. She would eventually remarry when God sent Bill O'Toole into her life, who was a wonderful man and husband to her for ten years until his passing in 1999. Earline is survived by her daughter, Cindy Blair (Bob) and her son, Art Sobota Jr (Teri). She has five grandchildren, Aaron Blair, Natalie Blair, Tomas Gottlieb (Cindy), Matt Sobota, Shane Sobota (Art); and seven great grandchildren Khila (Tomas), Ayden Jacob, Isabelle twins Jackson & Christian (Aaron), and Jason (Natalie). Earline was a blessing to everyone she met. She was known for her smile which she was never without, even in unhappy times. You would be uplifted just being around her. She had a passion for the elderly and visited those in nursing homes who had no family or friends to come see them. She was dedicated to the Lord and a mighty prayer warrior on behalf of many during her lifetime. She was truly a beautiful soul and it showed in all she did. She was the most wonderful mother, wife and friend and she loved deeply. Words cannot describe just how much she will be missed. Please join us, Wednesday, August 2, 2023 at Myrtle Grove Baptist Church 5920 Lillian Hwy at 10:00am for a visitation and 11:00am for a service as we celebrate the life of Earline.
