Mary Beth was preceded in death by her mother, Evelyn Miller Sharp Brannon; father, Delmas Sharp, Sr.; step-father, Charles Brannon; sister, Virginia Sharp Carson; and brother, Delmas Sharp, Jr. She is survived by her loving husband, Zander Glenn Orr; children, John Orr and Jennifer Winter; daughter-in-law Nancy Robison Orr; grandchildren, Sarah Elizabeth Orr, Rachel Hannah Orr, Michael Andrew Orr and Madeline Grace Winter; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

We are remembering you all in our prayers during this time of sorrow. I know that Mary Beth will be greatly missed. It is good to know that we have God's wonderful promise to us that "if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven" (2 Cor. 5:1).
Know that we are here for you.
