She is also survived by 8 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren.
She loved baking, floral design, traveling, and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She also enjoyed crossword puzzles and word searches. Her love for cooking and baking created many traditions and dishes that were shared at the races, and local farmer markets. Alongside her family, God was also the center of Cora’s foundation. Cora had an admirable devotion to God; she attributed much of her lifetime singing in her church’s choir.
Cora (Grandma) will be deeply missed, but her spirit, her love, and the memories she created will remain in our hearts forever.
