Orba was very passionate about her sobriety and recovery. She loved to help people in any way possible. Her mottos were, "Always give to the Salvation Army Christmas Drive Program" and "FROG-Fully Relying On GOD".

Her greatest enjoyment was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and "Her Boys"-her dogs, Snoop, Ace and Starfire. She loved to travel as well with her family and play the numbers, mid day and evenings.
