Etheleen Mozelle (Fowlkes) Orange

I am safely home in Heaven dear ones!
Oh so happy, Oh so bright!
There's perfect joy and beauty;
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now in peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last!!

On Monday, March 7, 2022, Etheleen Mozelle Orange went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Her life began on June 11, 1924, the daughter of Ethel Oliver and James Fowlkes, in Emporia, VA. 

She later moved to Crewe, VA. where she joined the Episcopal church and graduated from high school as Salutatorian. She eventually moved to VA Beach and then Williamsburg where she met and married Solomon B. Orange in 1950.
