It is with great sadness we announce our Mother, Cora Lee Tubbs, passed peacefully on 10/14/2025. Born 07/07/1930 to Dan and Delia Ary and raised in Red Oak, Oklahoma. She was one of nine siblings. Cora moved to California in the mid fifties and began her career with a telephone company in Tracy. In 1960 she married Kenneth Tubbs and they raised their family in Sacramento. Cora lived a very full and joyful life. She retired from AT&T after 32 years and from John Hancock with 20 years service. She was a strong, extraordinary woman with a heart of gold. Cora is survived by her daughters, Kris (Elsie), Karen (Don), Kelly and Kim. 13 grandchildren,15 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren. Her siblings John (Gennean), Georgia and Jerry. She is preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Kenneth, daughter Katherine, grandson Joel and son-in-law David. Her siblings Marie, Katherine, Danny, Daisy and Linda. At her request no services will be held. There will be a celebration of life at a later date. The family requests any remembrance be sent to the American Cancer Society or a charity of their choice. May her Legacy continue to inspire each of us to live life to the fullest with compassion and purpose. She is now happily,"Dancing with our Father again".
