Orville Ellis Alcott, 86, of Rochester, passed away, Friday, May 12, 2023 at Methodist Hospital in Rochester following a brief illness.
Orville was born July 29, 1936 in Pope County, Minnesota to Ellis and Alice (Abraham) Alcott. In 1954 he graduated from the Stewartville High School where he was on the football and wrestling teams.

He was a member of the Church of the Resurrection Catholic Church and the Stewartville American Legion. He enjoyed hunting deer and pheasants and took several trips to Wyoming deer hunting. He was also an avid fisherman and especially enjoyed fishing for Walleye in Northern Minnesota. Orv was a selfless man who was always willing to give a helping hand and devoted husband to Phyllis for over 64 years.
Orville is survived by his wife, Phyllis; his siblings, Stanley Alcott, Joyce (Loren) Wiener, and Alice “Cookie” Volberding; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ellis and Alice; siblings Dale, Dorothy, Roy, and Marjorie.

Condolences
The family of Orville Ellis Alcott has received the following condolences.
So sorry for your loss, prayers for you Phyllis and the family. Both Don and I worked with Orv at Q & A. He was one of the best truck drivers ever. One of the things we both remember about Orv. He came to work looking like he had just come out of Hat Box and went home still looking the same after a long day. His truck was spotless inside, everyone always said you could eat off the floor in his truck.
RIP Orv.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
So very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all.
Phyllis and family
So sorry for your loss. May God give you peace during this difficult time. May all your happy memories help you get through your grief.
Love, Donna
I’m so sorry to hear about Orv. He was truly one of the good guys and I feel honored to be one of his many friends. I’ll always remember the fishing trip along with some of the trips too Vegas, they were always a great time. I’ll also remember all the fun on Friday and Saturday at the Legion in Stewartville and Plainview. I will miss those times with Orv and friends but it will make me happy thinking about them. May God bless him and his family.
