Martha Louise (Fowler) Orr, age 78, passed away peacefully on November 29, 2023 at home with her husband (the love of her life) and eldest son, after a recent visit from her younger sons and their families.
Martha was a 1963 graduate of Central Gwinnett High School, GA. She was preceded in death by her father, Louie C. Fowler Sr.; mother, Sarah Helen (Tanner) Fowler; sister, Elaine (Fowler) Mitchell; brother, Louie C. Fowler Jr.; father-in-law, Joseph Gordon Orr, Sr.; mother-in-law, Irene (Roach) Orr.
Martha was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She touched many lives, and made people happy everywhere she went. As a lover of all creatures great and small, she was a fierce protector of those in need. Martha’s enduring spirit is an inspiration for us all.
She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Joseph Gordon Orr, Jr. of Duncan, SC previously of Buford, GA; son, Joseph and Bethany Orr of Mooresville, NC; son, Jacob Orr and Stefani Newman of Atlanta, GA; son, Joshua and Megan Orr of Cortland, IL; grandchildren, Evan Orr of Cortland, IL, Tanner Orr of Raleigh, NC, Abigail Orr of Cortland, IL and Jessica Orr of Mooresville, NC.
