Sharon Orr Obituary


SHARON LOUISE (DOLUMBA) ORR, 80, of Charleston, WV, passed away December 28, 2025, at Hubbard Hospice House, surrounded by loving family.
She was born September 17, 1945, in Washington, DC, to the late Ethel (Coffenberg) Dolumba, before the family moved to Huntington Station, NY. She was a 1963 graduate of Walt Whitman High School. Sharon was also a licensed LPN and Massage Therapist.
As a young woman, Sharon moved closer to New York City, beginning her longtime airline career with Eastern Airlines and sparking a love of travel. Sharon was transferred to Houston, TX, moving often, including stays in San Francisco, CA; Ponce, Puerto Rico; Texas, Michigan, and West Virginia.
Sharon joined Piedmont Airlines in Charleston before being transferred to Virginia Beach, VA, as part of the merger with US Airways. She retired from the airlines in 2004, remaining in Virginia Beach where she was a licensed Massage Therapist with her own business. Ultimately, she returned to Charleston to be closer to family, especially her granddaughter, Avery.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by sisters Valerie Burdock and Elaine Alloy.
Sharon is survived by her son, Lee; daughter-in-law, Asley; granddaughter, Avery; and former husband, Lawrence of Charleston; niece, Pam Burdock and her sons Matthew and Mark Casado of Conklin, NY; along with close friends in the community.
Sharon was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church, Charleston. She enjoyed biking, exercise, gardening, the ocean, and volunteering. She had many adopted and well-loved pets over the years.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to St. John's Episcopal Church, Charleston, WV, or The Salvation Army.
Funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at St. John's Episcopal Church, 1105 Quarrier Street, Charleston, WV, with The Reverend Eric L. Miller officiating. She will be laid to rest at Spring Hill Cemetery, Charleston, during a private burial.
