Orlean Mott Obituary

SHERRILL >> Orlean Ruth Mott, 84, of 216 W. Hamilton Ave., Sherrill and 3009 Robin Road, Plano, Texas, passed away Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013, after a brief illness.
Orlean was born in Goshen, N.Y., a daughter of Lloyd and Loretta Mott. She attended elementary school in Walden, N.Y. Her teachers once said, "If all students were as well behaved as Orlean, the teacher's job would be a lot easier!" Orlean is predeceased by her parents. Surviving loved ones include two sisters and brothers-in-law, Leneta and Thomas Planck of Sherrill, N.Y., and Carolee and Robert Hall of Plano, Texas; a brother and sister-in-law, Lloyd and Virginia Mott of Queensbury, N. Y.; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Orlean enjoyed many church and community related activities, such as singing in the South Valley church choir, the United Methodist Women of Christ Church in Sherrill, and the Sherrill Garden Club.
Most of all, Orlean enjoyed sharing her loving kindness with friends, neighbors, and family. Her kind words, gentle hugs, and playful personality always left a lasting impression. She also enjoyed knitting, drawing, and her jewelry collection. Orlean was a very special person.
A private memorial service will be held later this spring in South Valley, N.Y. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 5818 E. Molloy St., Syracuse, N.Y. 13211 or at www.cff.org/

So sorry to hear of Orlean's passing. I will remember her sitting at Doris and Lester's kitchen table with her warm smile and inviting hugs. Michael, of course, would then dive into Lenetta's delicious cookies or Grammy Mott's stash of goodies. Hugs to you all, with deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear of Orlean's passing, but happy to know she is now in Heaven with loved ones. It's probably been about 40 years since I have seen Orlean. I still fondly remember her from South Valley church and can still see her sitting there with her jewelry on, and singing in the choir, and even her drawings. If I remember correctly our family brought home many of them over the years back then. Orlean was a very special person who touched the lives of everyone she met in one way or another. I know she will be missed but she is rejoicing with our God and her family in Heaven now.

I will never forget the many Sundays Ruthie (Elliott) Hendricks and I would come down to the trailer and go for walks with Orlean. She was a very special lady!! I'm sorry I lost touch after I married and moved away. I know all of you will miss her greatly. Our prayers are with the family and so glad to know that Orlean is with the Lord and sharing with Him and your Mom & Dad. Mary Lou (Brodie) Bach

I was so shocked to hear about Orlean's death. I will always remember her at church in South Valley, sharing the hymn book with her, her singing in the choir, and many other fond memories of her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of her family at this time. We are so sorry for your loss but I'm sure, right at this moment, that Orlean is undoubtedly visiting with my mom in heaven!
With Love and Prayers,
Elliot, Frank, and Carol Brodie
