Ora was born in 1936 in Yemen. She and her family came to Israel in 1946, shortly before the creation of the State of Israel. She served in the Israeli army and raised her family prior to immigrating to Canada in 1980. Ora's caring and selfless personality deeply touched both family and friends.

She was the loving mother-in-law of Ken Hashman and Malla Pitchon, both of Calgary. Ora was the loving grandmother of Sarah Bernamoff, Mayah Bernamoff, Isaac Hashman, Gabrielle Hashman, Mykaela Pitchon and Alexxa Pitchon.
