Cora Belle Vance

Cora had many great talents that gave her a wide variety of jobs. Such as a seamstress, working in a coat factory, and one of her greatest passions was being a florist. Cora loved making floral arrangements and owned a wedding/catering business for many years. She also enjoyed quilting. Cora was a member of Light House Church of Liberty City, Texas; after faithful years and dedication to the church, the fellowship hall was named after her and her husband, Clyde. She will be dearly missed by many.

Cora is preceded in death by her loving husband of over 58 years, Clyde Everett Vance; grandchild, James Robert "Jim" White Jr.; a brother and 3 sisters.
