Loving, hardworking mother of three children, Barbara, Jimmy, and Randall. Eight grandchildren, Ricky, Tanya, Scotty, Jason, Michelle, Kyle, Brian, Brandy, and many great-grandchildren. Cora was an excellent cook who was especially known for her biscuits, biscuit pudding, dumplings, and chocolate cake. Cora was born a twin, but her sister, Ora, died at about 6 mo. of age. Her mother also died when she was a baby. She was so kind and thoughtful to everyone. She was married to Luke for 54 years at the time of his death in 1996. They are both missed dearly.

Cora
She treated me as her own,
Even if we weren't blood kin,
No better mother-in-law.
Has there ever been.
She was kind hearted and sweet,
Ever gentle to everyone.
Never mean spirited or ungracious,
They were all "someone".
I knew her and loved her,
She shared with me her son,
We both love him dearly,
Our families as one.
I cried when she left us,
Even though it was best,
She was here as a blessing,
It is her time to rest.
Since the Angels came for her,
There will never be another,
Our sweet, kind, Cora,
Almost like my mother.
