Annie Laura Orman Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Annie Laura (Campbell) Orman, 86, passed through the gates of Heaven on February 17, 2020 in Houston, Texas. She was born on Little Mossy Island, Mississippi on Tuesday July 18, 1933 to William Louis Campbell and Fannie Mae (Ray) Campbell. Annie was the fifth child born into the family which would eventually have eight children altogether. Shortly thereafter her family moved to Tutwiler, Tallahatchie County, Mississippi where the family farm was established. Being brought up on a farm was tough but rewarding as it provided life lessons at every turn row. Everything eaten was grown on the farm. Everything worn was stitched on the farm. Electricity and running water were not seen in the house for many years to come and the family toilet consisted of a two-seater outhouse or a chamber pot. As a young girl, her chores consisted of bringing in firewood for the kitchen stove or chamber pot duties. As she grew older, her chores increased to chopping cotton or corn and picking cotton. Each year Annie and her siblings started the school year two months late due to the harvesting of the fields. Annie would often reminisce about spending many hours playing with her older brother LV under the house with toy tractors or her doll. Her favorite memories include sitting around listening to her father play the violin while her mother played the guitar. Annie married Robert Henry Orman Jr. on April 17, 1952 and went on to have three children; Robert, Ronnie and Rodney. After settling in Houston in 1965, Annie began a long and fulfilling career as a bus driver for Fort Bend Independent School District which lasted over 40 years. Annie is preceded in death by her parents William and Fannie Campbell, her husband Robert Henry Orman Jr., her son Rodney Eugene Orman and wife Paula Fay (Overturf) Orman, and her siblings Mary Floyce Campbell, Melvin Campbell, Marjorie Jenkins and Winfred Campbell. Annie is survived by her sons Robert Lewis Orman and wife Donna (Crosby, TX), Ronnie Rae Orman and wife Phyllis (Friendswood, TX), and former daughter-in-law Shirley (Day) Walker, grandchildren Melissa Diane (Orman) Broussard, Michelle (Orman) Richardson, Christopher Robert Orman. Step-grandchildren Austin Gill and Makayla Gill.

She is also survived by her siblings Mr. L.V.
