Alma Kay Dalton, 72, of Coshocton, passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Alma was born on December 20, 1953, in Marietta, Ohio, to the late Elmer William and Grace (Kellar) Bellville.

Alma spent many years working as a waitress at the Truck Stop in Newcomerstown, where she enjoyed meeting and serving others. She had a love for finding hidden treasures, earning herself the affectionate family nickname of "The Goodwill Queen." She loved shopping and never passed up an opportunity to find a special bargain or something unique.

Alma enjoyed many simple pleasures in life, including crafting, playing on her computer, watching reels, and keeping an eye out for the beautiful cardinals and hummingbirds that visited. She loved the ocean, playing cards with friends, and especially enjoyed Sunday drives and going out to eat with Othar Rotruck, her significant other of more than 25 years. These special moments and everyday adventures brought her much happiness.

Above all, Alma cherished her family, grandchildren and the memories they shared.

Alma is survived by her daughters, Amy (James) Botsford and Julie Woodby; her significant other, Othar Rotruck; grandchildren, Shelbie Eckelberry, Falon (Kyle Frenton) Botsford, Taylor Botsford, Melinda Shane, Jessica Bowen, and James (Jill) Dalton-Stull; step-granddaughter, Dymond; great-grandchildren, Ariana, Brooklyn, Tilly, Sylus, Trenton, Amelia, Kylee, Koner, Randy, Keegan, Alexis, Steven, Little James, Lilly, and Conner; sister, Sara Bellville; and stepsister, Geneva Forshey.
