Mrs. Alice Marie Orr, 94 of Byesville

Alice Marie (Mallett) Orr, 94, of Byesville, passed away Tuesday (October 13, 2026) at Countryview Assisted Living Center, Lore City.

She was born March 18, 1932 in Caldwell, daughter of the late Wayne Mallett and Clara (Schell) Mallett.

Alice graduated from Caldwell High School and later from Ohio University. She was a school teacher.

On July 13, 1953, Alice was united in marriage to Marvin L. Orr. Once their family began to grow, Alice and Marvin bought King’s Drive Inn in Byesville, which became Orr’s Drive Inn – a well-known landmark in Guernsey County. The Orr family gave many youths of the Byesville community their first jobs, and this extended family was loved by Alice. Over the years, many past employees returned and expressed the life lessons learned from Alice and Marvin’s watchful eyes.

Alice was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church until its closure and then became a member of Christ Our Light Parish. She was a member of the Catholic Women’s Club.

She enjoyed quilting, bird watching, and gaming at Wheeling. She loved animals and gardening. Alice always had a large garden and she took pride in tending to her roses.
