Orlena Bingham, age 94, of Wauseon, passed away on Monday, November 17, 2014 at Fulton Manor in Wauseon. It was a sad yet happy day when we said our final good-byes to Orlena/Mom. It was sad because we will miss her so much, but happy because she is having a grand reunion with all of the dear ones who have gone before.
Orlena was born in Dewitt, Kentucky on June 5, 1920, the daughter of William and Sudie (Broughton) Brewer. She had worked for and retired from Fulton Tubing in Archbold. She was a member of the First Church of God in Wauseon.

She is also survived by 21 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; and sister, Dora Carnes of Corbin, Kentucky.
