I have so many memories of Aunt Ora Lee and I treasure all of them. She loved the LORD with all her heart and she prayed for everyone. She was a true and faithful servant of the LORD. I will miss our phone conversations. So sorry we could not be there for her service. We are lifting up the family in our prayers. Love, Debbie Russell
Dear Aunt Oralee,
We don’t think of you as being gone, only that your journey has just begun! We see you in a resting place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and no years. We will always think of your special ways and how you would enter a room with your smile and words of encouragement to each of us. Although you have left our world on earth you will always hold a special place within each of our hearts. You are our angel and please know you will continue to guide us daily until we all meet again in heaven!!
With all our Love,
Alice Moye, Harold (Doug) Moye, Sherry (Moye) Davis and Jerry and Mary Lyda
P.S. Mom has promised to continue to go her Doctor as needed.
In thinking of Ora Lee or Mom Stanton as I always called her, I thank the Lord for the beautiful daughter, Dee, she brought into the world and who later became my wife. She instilled in Dee the traits of godliness, prayerfulness, and a genuine interest in others. She welcomed my children into her family as her own grand and great grand kids. She even came to Africa for about 4 months and served as our dorm grandma during the one year we filled in at the kids boarding school in Côté d'Ivoire. She was also a welcome guest at our home in Dunnellon when we were on home assignment. She loved to spend hours sitting out on the deck enjoying the sights and sounds of nature there. She was so happy to take over our living room for her painting club with Dee and Darlene whenever she had the chance. I had to keep the fire in fireplace stoked the whole time that she was with us during the winter months as she felt chilled without it. She never said no to a root-beer float of a bowl of fresh blueberries. We will miss her great spreads that she would prepare for a Sunday noon dinner or a holiday time. She was always caring for others even when her legs and feet were in constant pain and would not let that stop her from getting to her Sunday service and her class mates. I truly believe she is now jumping and running for joy in the glory beyond.

Grandma was so accepting of us kids and embraced us as her own grandchildren. She was one of the kindest people I know. She always had a hug ready and a word of encouragement. She would always remember my birthday and send me a card. I will miss her calming spirit and godly wisdom. She will be missed.

Aunt Ora Lee our Matriarch! She was a lady who loved God and her family.
She worked hard and took care of her family and many more. She was full of love and had such grace about her.
I am sure you are rejoicing in heaven with Mama (Gladys), Blanche, Betty, Donald and Harold. I can only imagine!
Love,
Judy Johnston Roberts
Dear family: I am sorry for your loss but know that the Bible says Oralee is now with her Savior, safe and happy. I didn't know her real well, but enjoyed my time with her when we were oil painting with her daughter Dee and loved her in Christ, as I could see Jesus in her. Such a dear sweet lady. She would have us emulate Jesus Christ in everything we do in life and I believe that would have pleased her. Will make a donation to Dee and Mark in memory of my time with her.

Grandma accepted us Krueger kids, despite not being blood related. That did not matter to her. She loved us like her own. When my brother and I visited her over Christmas break in college, she welcomed us in and we were able to stay with her for a couple weeks. She seemed to welcome many people into her home throughout her life.
I remember at Grandma's house there was ALWAYS sweet tea in the fridge. Now up north the tea is not sweet but I remember as kid really enjoying it. Of course you had to have ice with it!! She also made a really yummy creamed corn and onion soup when one was not feeling well.
Grandma was one of the few members of the family that went to visit our family in Guinea, and also made the trip to Indiana for my wedding. She was fun to have visit.
Despite living far away, she would send me a birthday card and Christmas card every year. In the cards I could see her love for the The Lord and how she wanted others to know Him.
Love you Grandma and miss you!!! Enjoy Jesus and I will see you again.

Grandma is what I called her. I grew up spending many days at her house with my cousins. But Grandma and I shared something special, a birthday. We always joked that I was her favorite birthday present. And I will greatly miss sharing that with her.
