She was returning to Calgary from Grande Prairie where she had just finished another one of her many speaking engagements for Christian Woman's Club.

While attending a bible college in Indianapolis, she met a young chiropractic student, Ross Lawson, whom she married in May of 1950.

With the addition of grandchildren into her life, Orlee took great delight in making traditions and memories with them. As a founding member of Woodgreen Presbyterian Church (PCA), Orlee was known as the "heart of her church family". She also served Christ through Stonecroft Ministries, touching thousands of women's lives throughout North America with her personal testimony of God's grace. We thank God for giving her to us as a mother, a grandmother, a sister and a friend. God's grace is sufficient. Well done good and faithful servant.
