I often think of this wonderful teacher.We moved from Marysville in 1969 to Prospect. Immediately I was was behind in my verbs and nouns and multiplication and division because Marysville hadn't started teaching it yet. This woman spent a lot of her time to get get me up to speed. I just told my parents how much I appreciated her and I always wanted to tell her that.RIP

Anne taught both of my sons. She made a big difference for both of them. She was exactly what they needed. I visited with her in Richwood last year and she never failed to ask about them. She was a inspiration to so many. Bless all of you at this time.

I remember Ann best as one of my Sunday school teachers at Prospect United Methodist church. My sisters & I also remember the day we went to visit Ann & George when he offered us 'snow shovel rides' down his driveway. We were so tickled!

Well, well, heaven got a beautiful and wonderful angel when Anne arrived. I helped to feed the kids at Elgin South when Anne was there, so I got to know her pretty well. She just lived north of us a little ways. She always had a smile and treated everybody in the building equal. She will be sorely missed, but we shall see her again someday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. May God bless.

What a wonderful teacher, friend, and neighbor. I knew Mrs. Orahood at church, school, and as the neighbor down the road. She was a very special lady who will be missed by many. I know she is enjoying being reunited with George again. Love and hugs to the Orahood family.

I was in her class in the early 2000s. I remember her sweetness and her husband coming in to talk with us about his open heart surgery. She was a wonderful woman and now a beautiful angel. Prayers for her family.

Mrs. Orahood was such an outstanding lady. She was so kind and an inspiration to all of those who came to know her. My children were touched by her as a teacher. I always admired her lovely garden as I drove down Rt. 4. Many prayers are sent to her family during this difficult time.

Anne was one of the most wonderful women I have ever meant. I was very fortunate to have her as my mother in law. She wrote me many notes and cards telling me how much she loved. I loved her as much. We shared many good times. I will miss her each and every day

Mrs Orahood was such a marvelous and influential lady touching hundreds of lives in so positive ways. From teaching us through the week to Sunday School at Prospect UMC; she was a a true Proverbs 31 woman, and who does better than that? We praise the Lord to have known her, during our reunion at the end of days we shall rise up and called her blessed, so rest in peace Mrs Orahood. Our condolences to the family in your time of loss.

She will be deeply missed. I have and as well as many, were influenced positively throughout our lives. When I was younger, I was almost deaf and had a few ear surgeries and along with that I had speech impairment. I couldn't pronounce her name so she had me call her Mrs. Oreo and for me it stuck. She took me under her wing and took the time to help me learn and speak. RIP my sweet lady and thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I worked with Mrs. Orahood at Elgin South in Prospect for the last 3 years. She loved the children and was a great asset to them and Mrs. Ballinger as her classroom volunteer. She was a dear lady and a true professional. She was an example for all teachers. May God Bless her and her family. I am sorry that we are unable to attend services. With sincere sympathy, Fred and Margie Saull

Mike and family: Although we have not met, and I unfortunately did not know your parents, through your father (and the Weaver and Houtz families before him), you are a 3rd cousin 1x removed and your children are 4th cousins of my wife Rebecca and her siblings, children of the late Victor Phillian. We are very sorry for the loss of your mother. As a school teacher, volunteer and servant of the Lord she most assuredly was a role model and positive influence for so many others.

I had Mis Orahood as a teacher when I was in the third grade she was there for Mis ballinger when she had cancer. She was my all time favorite teacher. She was always so kind and sweet. My grandparents live across the street, and me and my grandma Eva would walk over and visit her. She was such a loving preson and will be missed dearly. So sorry for your loss, she had such a beautiful soul.
