Jennifer Denise Orr of Lawrenceville GA passed away Thursday evening surrounded by family, friends and her loving fiancé. She mercifully found her ultimate peace and heavenly rest after diligently fighting a traumatic illness for many months. Denise was a graduate of Central Gwinnett High, and successfully started a county records retrieval service in the 90’s. She was well known for her friendly southern charm, beautiful raven black hair and wonderful smile. Denise truly never met a stranger and could talk with anyone about anything, and often did so. She was a beloved daughter, mother, sister, aunt, niece, loving companion to her fiancé and friend to many in the Lawrenceville area. Denise was preceded in death by her grandparents: Ryman and Lois Orr – Lawrenceville and Eual and Annie Ruth Criswell – Lawrenceville. Sister-n-law: Cheri Hayes – Lawrenceville. Denise is survived by her parents: Sandra Orr – Buford, and Gary Orr – Winder. Fiancé: Daniel Steele Sr. and son Daniel Steele Jr. – Lawrenceville. Sister and Brother-N-Law: Dawn and Mark Cochran – Loganville. Brother: Danny Hayes – Lawrenceville. And numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who all will miss their “Neecie” tremendously. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

  6. CandleImageI have so many memories of Denise and I. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. We did everything together and had so much fun. From babysitting the girls that lived across the street from Denise to feeding to horses down the street so we could make some skating rink money.

  9. CandleImageYou are so loved, Jen.
    You will be missed.
    You brought so much happiness
    to my son, Dan. You both
    blessed us with Daniel James.
    The time I came to Georgia when Daniel James was 2…the bonding we did, the fun we had. Truly a loving & memorable time.
    You have a big heart & were kind
    to everyone you met.
    I love you & may you rest easy now, daughter-in-law.
    Until we meet again.

  10. CandleImageWhen I die
    Give what’s left of me away
    To children
    And old men that wait to die.

    And if you need to cry,
    Cry for your brother
    Walking the street beside you.
    And when you need me,
    Put your arms
    Around anyone
    And give them
    What you need to give to me.

    I want to leave you something,
    Something better
    Than words
    Or sounds.

    Look for me
    In the people I’ve known
    Or loved,
    And if you cannot give me away,
    At least let me live on in your eyes
    And not your mind.

    You can love me most
    By letting
    Hands touch hands,
    By letting bodies touch bodies,
    And by letting go
    Of children
    That need to be free.

    Love doesn’t die,
    People do.

    So, when all that’s left of me
    Is love,
    Give me away.
