MINNEOLA - Reverend Carl Bain Orr went home to be with our Heavenly Father on June 16, 2016. Carl was born in Minneola, Kansas, to Fred and Mary (Bain) Orr on January 22, 1925.

His family moved to Albia, Iowa where he graduated from high school in 1943. He attended Sterling College in Sterling, Kansas and later graduated from Colorado State College of Education, where he met his future wife, Dorey, and they were married. Together they moved to Montana where they taught on the Crow Indian Reservation. It was there that the Lord called Carl to the ministry. He graduated from Dubuque Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity and was ordained into the Presbyterian Church. During his 30 plus years of ministry, he served churches in Beaver Creek, Minnesota; Davenport, Iowa; Chanute, Kansas; and St. Joseph, Missouri.
In his free time, Carl loved spending time with his family, woodworking, and especially gardening.

He is survived by his wife of almost 65 years, Dorey Orr, and three sons and their wives: Allan and Becky Orr of Lake Jackson, Texas; David and Debbie Orr of Marco Island, Florida; and Lynn and Elaine Orr of Marco Island, Florida.
Grandchildren are Michael Orr, Alison Oedewaldt, Lauren Orr, Hayley Orr, Meagan Gann, and Jennifer Orr. Carl also has two great-grandchildren, Luke and Sarah Grace Oedewaldt.
