| The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Sunday, February 18, 2018, page 7a Orma Irene Prentice passed into her heavenly home on Jan. 30, 2018, in Flagstaff, Arizona, following a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Orma was born July 29, 1923, to Charles D. Ogier and Gertrude M. Gurney Ogier in Burbank, California. She was the first of five children, and survived the longest, at 94 years of age. Orma met John Douglas Prentice at the young age of 16, and they were married on Aug. 14, 1940. They made their permanent home in Mayer, Arizona. They became parents of four children, all of whom survive her: Carolyn Troyer of Rimrock, Arizona; Janice DeWall (Alfred) of Flagstaff, Arizona; John D. Prentice Jr. (Shirley) of Prescott, Arizona; and Dale Taylor of Flagstaff, Arizona. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and five great-great- grandchildren. Douglas, known as “J.D.” or “Tex,” passed away in 1981. Orma was clever with her hands, and could do any kind of needlework and crafts. She was an expert seamstress, sewing beautiful garments for her family. She was co-owner of a ceramic shop for several years. A life-long butterfly lover, Orma collected anything and everything with a butterfly theme. Family always came first with her, and she loved her children unconditionally. She was known and loved for her sweet disposition. A Memorial Service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 3, at the Mayer Recreation Center, 10001 Wicks Ave. in Mayer, Arizona. Friends are invited to share memories, as we celebrate Orma’s life and how her life impacted all of ours. Memories and condolences may be posted for the family at www.norvelowensmortuary.com.
