Cora worked in the Cafeteria at Eli Lilly after her children were grown and made many lifelong friends while enjoying her employment. Cora loved to take care of people, rather it was baking you a treat, wiping tears and bandaging knees or just being there as a friend for anyone in need. She enjoyed playing cards and especially liked to win. Cora was loved immensely by her family and leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories.
