Patricia E. Orr, age 82, of Clarksville, passed away Saturday, August 21, 2021, at Tennova Healthcare.
She was born April 16, 1939, in Washington, DC, to the late John and Rosemary Fugitt. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by her brothers, Bob Fugitt and John Fugitt; and sister, Luree Web.
Pat is survived by her husband of 53 years, Craig Orr; three sisters, Barbara Browning, Linda McGee, and Marie Wagner; and several nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Orr retired after several years as a bookkeeper and office manager at Swan Lake Golf Course. She was a proud member of New Providence United Methodist Church. She loved God with all her heart. Pat was a leader of United Methodist Women for 20 years, and she served as a teacher for her Adult Sunday School Class for many years. She never met a stranger. She loved her church and all who were a part of it. Mrs. Orr especially enjoyed baking for bake sales, and whether you wanted to buy something or not, she would run you down and sell it to you. Pat enjoyed hobbies of canning, reading, and being involved in the activities of the church.
