September 28, 1935 — June 11, 2021
Eva Kathleen (Kathy) Orr, 85, of Casper passed away at her home on June 11, 2021 with her friends and family by her side.
She was born to Frank and Eva Stauter on September 28, 1935 in St. Croix Falls, WI. She was raised and graduated high school in Clarkston, MI.

In Casper, Kathy devoted her time to the Oregon California Trails Association and to Geo Wives. As part of Geo Wives, a women's hiking club was started. During this time, many women hiked and cross country skied the trails of the American West, traveling from Montana, Wyoming and Colorado as part of the Happy Trails Hikers group.
