She grew up in Middlebourne/Tyler County. She was a member of the Calvary Memorial Church. She enjoyed hosting and attending many of her clubs: Garden Club, Homemakers, sewing, canasta and the Rebecca's. Orpha also enjoyed working at Misty Manufacturing on Saturdays. She is survived by her only son, Ottis F. Wilcox and his wife, Marge, of Parkersburg, with whom she made her home; two granddaughters and their husbands, Pamela and Pete Myers and Becky and Ron Cheuvront, all of Parkersburg; five great-grandchildren, Matthew, Samantha and Ryan Cheuvront, Adam Myers and wife, Allys, and Rebecca Myers, all of Parkersburg; several nieces and nephews; and her loving pet of many years, Gretchen.
