It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Barbara Johanne Orcutt on August 19, 2025. Known to us as Barbara Orcutt-Wrenn, she was a beacon of generosity, love, compassion, and support. Born on March 30, 1949, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Barbara lived a life full of rich experiences and deep relationships. She had made her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, after previously residing in Edison and Lakewood, NJ, and Wilcox, AZ.
Barbara was a loving wife and a retired professional who enjoyed RVing, visiting national parks, spending time with her pets, and reading. As the saying goes, "There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart," and Barbara embodied this sentiment in every aspect of her life. Her warmth and kindness will be deeply missed by her son, Christopher Wrenn; her daughter, Sherri Gzemski and son-in-law Charles Gzemski; grandchildren Brian and Mathew Gzemski, and Carrie Piscioneri; great-grandson Lincoln Piscioneri; sisters Patricia Church, Cindy Kolb, Colleen Dolce, Deborah D'Angeli and John Marshall Bray; and their respective spouses William Church, Ed Kolb, Joe Dolce, and Louis D'Angeli. She was predeceased by her father, John Henry Bray; mother, Dorothea Bray; beloved husband, Harless Wrenn; and son, Richard Orcutt.
We invite you to leave memories and upload photos of Barbara to the memorial page, ensuring her spirit continues to be a part of our lives.
