I am way late in finding out about Coras passing..i worked with Cora at her hair salon when i was very young...i last saw Cora at The Waterfront Blues Festival and she looked great..that was some years ago...my condolences go out to the family...beautiful Cora. Suzanne Stoughton

I knew Cora and her two oldest daughters many decades ago. Her lovely daughter Cobi is a dear friend of my daughter. I modeled Cora's cosmetic line for her and frequented her beauty salon. So sorry for her passing. A beautiful and elegant lady.

I knew Tracy and Lori in high school, and had my hair cut at Cora's elegant salon several times. Much later, Cora was appointed to the Oregon State Board of Nursing as a public member, where I worked as a nurse practitioner staff member. She was gracious to me and served on the Board for many years. She did, I think, tease me by asking me to read all the names of the most complicated drugs being proposed for the nurse practitioner formulary rules into the microphone at most meetings. My...

Tracy~now I know where you got your beautiful smile! Though I didn’t know your mom, she sounds like a wonderful woman who accomplished so much in her life! I am so sorry for your loss. I hope all the fond memories of her will bring you some peace and comfort in the days and months ahead

I modeled with beautiful Cora for many years and always enjoyed her lovely ways. I admired her many talents and the way she managed her work and family so effortlessly. I will remember her and smile.

When I saw her picture, I knew I recognized that face. I met Cora 40 years ago when I first started working as a CPA for the firm I had interned with in college. I was the first in my family to go to college. Our office was in the Terminal Sales Building on 12th & Morrison and Cora's salon was on the street level on 12th. My boss knew Cora and asked if she would help me with my hair and clothing to look more "professional", as I still looked and dressed like a college hippie of the 70's. ...

I met Cora at the First Presbyterian Church. She was always so friendly and kind and we had great conversations. I will really miss her. She was a lovely lady. My prayers go out to all of your family.

I remember Cora with love.
