She accepted Christ at an early age at Cedar Point Baptist Church, Coffeeville, AL.

Throughout her life, she was employed at Jackson Hospital (currently) Jackson Medical Center); Allied Paper Mill (currently Boise), and Wal-Mart Super Center in Jackson. The organizations she served in and her various employments were such that she became acquainted with many people, and she never m et a stranger.

Cora was always willing to help, lend advice, and enjoy conversation; and if something within the conversation hurt your feeling, she would say. "baby, you know I love you, but it's right". She'd also say, "It's the World"...and then smile. She will be missed by many.
