Ora Lee Pitman Archer

Ora Lee went by many names: Ora Lee, CJ, Mom, Gran-nan, Granny, Aunt Ora Lee, and Sister. She was a woman that was not afraid to love or be loved. She attended Wells Christian Fellowship Church, she loved her church family and her Lord Jesus. She had many hobbies, and those that were close to her knew how she loved garage sales. She also loved being outside mowing her yard and planting flowers, but most of all, she loved her family, both close and distant. We will truly miss her more than words can say.

Survivors include her daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Bud Acrey of Pollok; son and daughter-in-law, Walter and Melissa Beshears of Pollok; stepdaughter, Kimberly Carpenter of New Caney; grandchildren, Kris Maddox of Louisiana, Zac Acrey of Diboll, Vicky Acrey of Lufkin, Jessica Acrey of Lufkin; Jordan Acrey of Pollok; Kimberly Dees of San Augustine, Betty Beshears of Kansas; Jeremy Matchett of Ft. Jackson, SC, Katy Lofton of Rusk, Holly Emery of Splendora and Amanda Emery of Cleveland; 9 great-grandchildren; sisters, Carolyn Reed and Patricia Sweeten; and a number of other family members.
