Frances Marie D'Orr

Sunrise - October 30, 1947 – Sunset - November 9, 2026

Frances Marie D’Orr, (Lindsey) was born on October 30, 1947, in Little Rock, Arkansas. On November 9, 2026, she departed this earthly life and entered into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Though her absence leaves an unimaginable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her, we find comfort in knowing that she is now healed, free from pain, and home with God.

Marie was a woman whose faith was the foundation of her life. Born and raised in the very church where she will now be laid to rest, Crystal Hill Baptist Church, she carried her love for Jesus throughout her lifetime. She faithfully served as a Sunday school teacher for several years, sharing her faith and helping nurture the spiritual lives of others. She also attended Bible Study Fellowship and acquired a certificate of completion. Her love for the Lord was evident in the way she lived, loved, and cared for those around her.

She was a woman full of personality, charm, and life. Feisty and outspoken, yet incredibly sweet, Marie had a way of making herself known wherever she went. She was almost always smiling or laughing, and anyone who knew her could probably recall hearing her familiar words, “Oh me, oh my!” Her little sayings, infectious smile, and unmistakable spirit will forever be remembered.

Marie loved the finer things in life and never passed up an opportunity to shop or be spoiled. She had a special appreciation for antiques, beautiful china ware, and decorating her home. She loved crafting and making every holiday special, always finding a reason to make things beautiful. She was also a wonderful home maker, cook and baker (Dog Mom) , known especially for the delicious cakes she made with love. Her kitchen, her home, and the memories made around her table will be treasured for generations.

In May of 1986, Marie married the love of her life, Bill D’Orr. Together, they shared 40 beautiful years of marriage, filled with love, companionship, adventures, and countless memories. She affectionately called him her “sweetheart,” or “ Billlllll” and the two enjoyed traveling and cruising together, seeing the world and making memories along the way. Their four decades together were a testament to a love that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew them.

Above all else, Marie loved her family. She leaves behind a legacy of memories, traditions, laughter, and love that will continue through the generations.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 40 years, Bill D’Orr; her sister, Linda Lindsey; her stepchildren, Heather Hamilton, Will Dorr and Alicia; her grandchildren, Kali and Cheyenne, Drake, Hunter, Tab and Nick, Easton and Jazmyn, Skylar, Ayden, Brody, and Ahna; and her great-grandchildren, Bryton, AnnaDay, Little Truitt, Madalyn, and Tucker, with another precious great-grandchild on the way, and MANY aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Elizabeth Lindsey ; her daughter, Bobbie Marie; her son, Truitt; her sister, Brenda Purdom; and her grandson, TJ Taber.

Though we wish we could have kept her here a little longer, we take comfort in the promise of eternal life. We imagine Heaven welcoming her with the same beautiful smile she shared so freely here on earth. There is no more pain, no more suffering, and no more earthly worries. She is home, reunited with loved ones who went before her, and resting in the everlasting presence of her Savior.

Until we meet again, Dee. We will miss your laughter, your stories, your beautiful spirit, and, of course, your “Oh me, oh my!”

You were deeply loved, you will be forever missed, and your memory will live on in all of us.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”

2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV).
