HARTS, W.Va. - Ora "Granny" Adkins, 87, of Harts, went home to be with the Lord Sunday, October 26, 2008, at St. Mary's Medical Center at Huntington.
Born June 30, 1921, at Greenshoals of Harts, she was a daughter of the late Richard and Sara Wiley Adkins. Also preceding her in death were nine sisters, Martha (Burgess) Burton, Hazel (Chris) Lambert, Thelma (Ivan) Curry, Maggie (Wayne) Brumfield, Ella (Tobe) Davis, Velva (Frank) Chapman, Katherine (Taft) Mullins, Lola Belle (Sherman) Abbott and Nora (Den) Mullins; three brothers, Wilson (Margie) Adkins, Fred (Willa) Adkins and Wayne Adkins; a nephew-in-law, Eddie Browning, and nephew, Burgess Edward Burton.
Ora was a homemaker who enjoyed spending time with her family and her "babies." She loved the outdoors, music, church, talking on the phone and her five dogs. She was a special lady to so many and devoted her entire life to helping and doing for others and was always putting everyone else's needs before her own. Granny was a strong and wise woman and no words can do justice for all of the good and sacrifices she has done in her life. She has taught so much and so many valuable lessons to so many through the years. Not only will Granny's memory be deeply cherished, her knowledge, strength and wisdom will be forever missed.
