Ora Marie Weir Walker
August 12, 1923 ~ April 16, 2019
Ora Walker, 95, of Cleburne, Texas was born August 12, 1923 to Andrew Jefferson Weir and Bertie Elizabeth (Miller) Weir in Crowley, Texas. She passed away April 16, 2016 in Fort Worth, Texas.
After graduating from Paschal High School she married Ross Edwin Walker on July 3, 1940 in Fort Worth. She partnered with Ross in a small grocery store in east Fort Worth prior to his enlistment in the U.S. Army during World War II. She accompanied him to Fort Monmouth, New Jersey and San Francisco, California during his training, upon his deployment to the Asian Theatre she returned to Fort Worth, patiently awaiting his discharge.
The next leg of their journey took them to College Station and a much-loved time at Texas A&M University. Ross encouraged her to attend college after his graduation but her desire was to be a wife, homemaker and hopefully a mother. She was overjoyed when the couple adopted a daughter and son. An expert cook, seamstress and gardener, Ora was devoted to her husband, children, grand children, great grand children and her church, Wesley Memorial United Methodist until her final days.
Preceded in death by her parents; her husband of sixty-two years, Ross; her three sisters, Opal Farmer, Irene Wallace and Lois Reeves and a nephew, Zane Farmer.
Funeral services will be conducted April 19, 2019. Burial will follow in Greenacres Memorial Park.
