Johnny and I along with our daughters Cheryl, Pam and Sandy lived in Mauriceville for 22 years and Ora Mae Peveto was one of our very dear friends. We were part of her church family and have so many memories of this wonderful woman with a contagious smile. That smile and her laughter wrapped around you in a special way. Johnny died in 2014 and I'm sure he welcomed her in Heaven. I'll always treasure her friendship. Love, Wynell

Growing up in Mauriceville during the 50’s and 60’s everyone knew everyone in our small community. It was like an extended family especially with those we attended church with and school activities. Mrs Ora Mae always had a smile and greeting. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.

I remember helping in the nursery and your mother was working also. She brought laughter to situations that otherwise might have been hard to laugh at. She definitely made working in the nursery a joy!! I admired her so much!!
