Otis Raymond Litchfield

Otis Raymond Litchfield, 96, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2025. He was born on October 4, 1929, to the late Lawrence and Rilla Litchfield. He is survived by his devoted family and wife of 71 years, Carolyn Pierce Litchfield of Point Pleasant; his daughter Belinda Vance (Jerill) of Culloden, WV; and his daughter-in-law Suzy Litchfield of Point Pleasant. He is also survived by three cherished grandchildren: Beth Lowe (Colt) of Point Pleasant, Jeremy Vance of Lexington, KY, and Ryan Vance (Danielle) of Huntington, WV. Otis leaves behind two great-grandsons, Harrison and Nolan Vance, both of Huntington, WV, who brought him great joy in his later years.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved son, Alan Litchfield; and his siblings Marguerite Neal, William Litchfield, Owen Litchfield, Ruby Bennett, Clifford Litchfield, Reba Burdette, and Dorothy Spencer.

Otis was employed by Holsom Bakery for 10 years and later by Broughton Dairy for 28 years, where his customers became lifelong friends. His true passion, however, was farming. He enjoyed raising cattle, hogs, and chickens, and had a deep love for all animals—especially his loyal German Shepherds. From a young age, he enjoyed music and playing guitar.

Above all, Otis loved spending time with his family. He delighted in family gatherings, especially birthday parties, and treasured every moment with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His kindness, hard work, and sense of humor will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Hospice of Huntington for their compassionate guidance and care.

A graveside service will be held at 1:30 p.m., Friday, October 10, 2025, at Kirkland Memorial Gardens, Point Pleasant, WV, with Rev. Michael Saunders officiating. Visitation will be from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., Friday, at Wilcoxen Funeral Home, Point Pleasant, WV.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hospice of Huntington or the Mason County Animal Shelter.
