The Greatest Generation indeed! Always impeccably dressed and maintained. Great lady of distinction. We enjoyed the monthly Catfish Village outings with her and the other fellow Daingerfield High School Alumni.

Truly a great lady. Had the privilege of working with Ora Belle at the National Bank of Daingerfield many years ago. She made a lasting impression on me; one of grace, beauty, class, style and Southern charm. Her memory will live on with those of us who have had the honor to have known her.

What an amazing lady! She really set the bar high for the next generations and I feel we are falling short. How blessed you were to have her for so many lively years! Thoughts and prayers for you in the days to come as you lay her to rest.
