What an amazing woman and teacher. I had Mrs Orr for all my math classes at Central Valley HS (class of 1979) and she instilled in me a love of math that has never left me. She leaves behind a great legacy. Thank you Mrs Orr.

Dear Orr Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mother/grandmother was such patient and amazing teacher. She calmly guided so many through all levels of math at Central Valley. She was the first one there and many times last one out - always available to help. True hero in education - thank you & God Bless.
Class of '81

Mrs. Orr was the only way I got thru Geometry at Central Valley! She told me at the end of the year that I shouldn’t plan on a career that ever required math! She would have been surprised to find I ran my own general contractor business for over 30 years! Class of 1970

Mrs. Orr was my Algebra teacher at Central Valley. She was a remarkable person and the dedication she showed to her students was rare. Algebra was not my best, nor my favorite subject at that time, but Mrs. Orr patiently led me through it, always in a positive manner. She would be happy to know that I went on to teach Algebra. Thank you Mrs. Orr, you've earned your rest.

Respectfully, Jim Morrow

I graduated in 1981 and Mrs. Orr was the best teacher that I ever had. She stayed every night after school to help whoever needed it and didn't leave until the last student left. Of all my teachers , I remember and respected her the most. May she rest in peace, God Bless.
