ALICIA IRENE OREL
Alicia Irene Orel (Milewski), age 93, passed away on January 15, 2021. Alicia was born on July 28, 1927 in Cleveland Ohio to Konstanty and Leokadya (Miloszewski) Milewski. She married Ted Orel on September 27, 1947. They celebrated 73 years of marriage until Ted’s death on January 5, 2021 and Alicia looked forward to joining Ted in Heaven.
After graduation from South High School, Alicia was a bank teller until her marriage to Ted Orel. Alicia and Ted raised three daughters. Alicia enjoyed being a mother and housewife. In addition to caring for her children, she was an avid knitter and knitted designer sweaters for a variety of retailers. Alicia was also active with Collingwood Memories and the Union of the Poles.
She is survived by her brother Casey Milewski (Alice); daughters Cheryl Harrell (Chris), Nancy Orel, and Deborah Bixler (Jay); four grandchildren (Shannon Harrell [Kevin Ament], Justin Harrell [Erin], Bryce Bixler, and Ryan Bixler); two great-grandchildren (Sawyer Hoehnen and Garrett Harrell); nieces and nephews; and four grand-dogs (Billie, Biscuit, Cheddar, and Snickers). She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her brother (Chester Milewski), and her sister (Harriet Milewski).
Per Alica’s request there will be no visitation. A mass of Christian Burial will be held at a later date. The family would like to give a special thanks to the caregivers at the Greens and Fountains Care and Rehabilitation Center and a special thank you to Crossroads Hospice for all of their care and compassion.

You have my heartfelt sympathy and prayers in the loss of Ted & Orel your Father & Mother. I was so fortunate to know both of them from the Local 400 Cimino Retiree’s Club, Ted was our president for a while and always did a great job and Alicia was always there with her wit and charm. They will certainly be missed by our group, I was the picture taker so I will miss their smiling faces.
In Love & Prayers
