Tootie was born on November 28, 1921, the daughter of Walter and Sarah (Helmberger) Klein, Sr. She was one of seven children. Tootie worked in the family business, Klein's Resort on Marion Lake as she grew up.

Tootie continued to live on the farm until her passing.
Tootie's favorite pastime was gardening. She always had a large vegetable garden, but truly loved her flowers. Tootie was one of the founders of the Lady Slipper Garden Club and continued as honorary member for life. She won many ribbons on floral design and her flowers at garden shows. She continued to nurture her flower gardens to the end. She loved visits from her grandkids who always picked flowers for her and she always had treats ready for them. Grandma did a lot of babysitting and loved it.
Tootie worked several years at the Richville Senior Center as head of the sewing department, creating many beautiful quilts, table cloths, dish towels and rugs.
Tootie is survived by her 3 children, Carolyn (Dennis) Reynolds, Michael Adams and Linda (Howard) Lee, and 8 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and in-laws. Also surviving Tootie is her sister, Bernice Rosenthal of New York Mills.
