Officiating will be Pastor Uelyss Reed, Jr. Lora was a loving wife, mother, aunt, friend, and most of all Christian. Early in life, Lora was a member of Good Hope Baptist Church. Later in life she moved her membership to Stonewall Missionary Baptist Church and faithfully attended services until her health failed. She worked at Caddo Door for over ten years and Johnny Gray Jones Detention Center as a security officer. To many she was more than a security officer but also someone to talk with. She was a loving wife and mother of two sons. Lora was preceded in death by her siblings Bertha Shaw, Helen Morris, and Rosalie Thomas.
