She married Thomas Elmer Hill, Sr., on October 18, 1942. Otiena and Thomas had four children before they divorced in about 1951. She moved to the Maryland area where she spent most of her adult life raising two of her sons, Thomas E. Hill, Jr. and William Robert Hill.
Otiena then married James Thomas Bradbury, Jr., from Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania, on June 12, 1957. His nickname was 'Buddy,' and he was born April 14, 1922. Otiena and James moved back to Dudley and purchased the Jan and Willemina home place across from Brogden School in 1975. Otiena worked for the Wayne County government delivering 'meal on wheels' to the elderly in the community.
James proceeded her in death in November 1993. Otiena died at Wayne Memorial Hospital on November 15, 1998. She and Buddy are interred at Willowdale Cemetery off Williams street in downtown Goldsboro. She rests just a block away from Jan and Willemina.
