He was born on October 10, 1931, in Portsmouth to Orlea, and Sally (Smith) Sr. Orlea worked for over 30 years for Martin Marietta as a welding supervisor, retiring in 1998. He continued working as a boilermaker after that. He enjoyed flying his own plane, collected coins, and was a Reds and Buckeyes fan. Orlea also played mandolin and guitar locally with the Bonser Run Bluegrass Boys. While living in California in the ’60s, he was an avid beekeeper, and prior to that was a Golden Gloves boxer. He was a member of Christ Sanctuary in Sciotoville.

Orlea is survived by two sons, Dale (Karen) Whitley, and Tim Whitley, both of Wheelersburg; six grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild on the way; one sister, Rosemary Kelly of Sciotoville. In addition to his parents, Orlea was preceded in death by his wife, Betty in 2016; a son, Randy in infancy; three brothers, Lowell, Russell, and Donald Whitley; four sisters, Verla Conrad, Lucille Jenkins, Maxine Clifford, and Juanita Holbrook.
