Biography

Not much is known of her early life. She married a man named Orveillon. She owned a café and grocery store in Jugon Les Lacs in Brittany. Her niece Geneviève lived with her.

Two Jewish boys, Roland and Gérard Moryoussef, who had been born in Algeria, fled Paris and ended up in Jugon Les Lacs, where Orveillon sheltered them beginning in October 1941. Their mother and elder brother were deported to and murdered in Auschwitz. They lived with an aunt briefly, but returned to Orveillon's house and café, where they lived until the liberation of Paris in August 1944; while they lived with Orveillon, the boys were integrated and educated while keeping their names.
