- Minnette Deloach Tittle
Oct.15, 1927 - Sept. 30, 2012
Resident of Atherton
Minnette Deloach Tittle passed away in her sleep on September 30, 2012, in Atherton, California. She was born in Marshall, Texas, on October 15, 1927, to Arthur and Minnie Deloach. She attended Marshall High School and the University of Arkansas before her marriage to her high school sweetheart, Y.A. Tittle.
Minnette is survived by her husband, Y.A., to whom she was married for 64 years. She is also survived by her daughter, Dianne Tittle de Laet of Menlo Park, her sons, Patrick Allen Tittle and John Handley Tittle, as well as her seven grandchildren: Elisa, Michael Christian, Laura, Mera, Luke, Kelly and Jack, and her 4 great-grandchildren: Ayla, Taj, Huck and Baby Ben. She was predeceased by her firstborn son, Michael Deloach Tittle, and her brother, Arthur Deloach.
An avid sportswoman in her own right, Minnette supported her husband's seventeen-year pro football career before giving rein to her own passion for art and travel. She served on the board of Folk Art International, the advisory board of The Arete Fund, and collected both American and Primitive Folk Art. Wise, passionate, generous, and "fierce" loving, Minnette was remembered at a private, family service at Alta Mesa Funeral Home on October 5, 2012, for a life rich in family and friends, and marked by a spirit of adventure and respect for the differences in culture, the oneness of people, as she travelled to more than 100 countries of the world with her boyfriend from grammar school days.
