Mary was recently reunited with her Heavenly Parents and her earthly parents, Charles A. Orme and Mary Atkin Orme.
Mary was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings, including the Stake Primary Board. She was a lifelong learner and education was very important to her. She graduated with a double master degree in secondary education and psychology from the University of Utah. She lived in Blanding, Utah, for a time, teaching home economics in the high school. She especially loved working with the Navajo people at that time. She later moved to Moab where she started a psychology practice. But Tooele was her true home and called her back. She currently worked for Zion’s Bank in their customer service department. Mary was so talented in many ways. She had a love for music and played the piano and flute. Her talents also included photography of the many landscapes she enjoyed in her backroad travels, counted cross-stitch, and her all-time favorite was knitting. She was famous for creating her own patterns. Mary faithfully wrote to every missionary in the family. She loved dogs and had at least one wherever she lived. Mary will truly be missed by her many cousins on both the Atkin and Orme side of her family, her special friend Dave, and her dog Oreo.
There will be a graveside service Friday, May 1, 2020, at 10:30 a.m., at the Tooele City Cemetery, 361 S. 100 East, Tooele, Utah.
