Tommy Orrell Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Tommy Dwaine Orrell, who left this world on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024, at the age of 77. Born on March 8, 1947, to Floyd Elmer and Patty Jean (McDonald) Orrell, Tommy was a long-time resident of Bolivar, where he
touched the hearts of many with his warm spirit and unwavering courage.
Tommy lived a life marked by challenges, as he faced significant disabilities throughout his years. Yet, he showed remarkable resilience and grace, reminding everyone around him of the importance of kindness and compassion. He will be remembered not just for his struggles, but for the joy and light he brought into the lives of those fortunate enough to know him.
He is survived by his caregivers who cherished him deeply and stood by him through every chapter of his life.
A gathering to honor Tommy's life will be held on Monday, Jan. 13, at 11 a.m. at the Pitts Chapel. Friends and family are invited to join us in celebrating Tommy's legacy and the memories we shared. Following the service, Tommy will be laid to rest at Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Urbana, where he will find peace. A visitation will be held Monday, Jan. 13, from 10 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. prior to the service.
In this time of mourning, let us remember Tommy's spirit and the love he gave so freely. He will be missed, but his memory will forever remain in our hearts. Online condolences may be made at: greenlawnfuneralhome.com.
Tommy was preceded in death by his parents and a brother.
