Minnette Deloach Tittle
PALO ALTO, Ca. — With saddened hearts, we announce the passing of Minnette Deloach Tittle, a cherished wife and adored mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away in her sleep on September 30, 2012, in Atherton, California.
She was born October 15, 1927, in Marshall, Texas, to Arthur and Minnie Deloach. She attended East End School in Marshall, Texas, where she was a Princess of the May Fete, and met her husband-to-be. 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, California; 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 four great-grandchildren, Ayla, Taj, Huck and Baby Ben.
She was preceded in death by her firstborn son, Michael Deloach Tittle; and her brother, Arthur Deloach.
As a young mother, Minnette served as a community volunteer, working both with young children and with veterans at the Veterans Hospital in Menlo Park, California, while supporting her husband's career as a professional football player as his number one fan and critic, before his career in the San Francisco Bay Area took the family to New York City, New York. In later years, she gave rein to her own passion for art and travel, served on the board of Folk Art International, the advisory board of The Arete Fund and collected both American and Primitive Folk Art.
An avid sportswoman in her own right, Minnette enjoyed tennis, golf and running into her late 60s, and, in spite of illness, persevered into her 80s with sleep-overs and scary stories for her great-grandchildren and shopping trips for one and all of her loved ones.
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.
