Cora Elizabeth Hodge

Cora Elizabeth Hodge of Lewisburg, WV, formerly of Hines, WV passed away at the Greenbrier Health Care Center on November 5, 2021. Born on September 21, 1925, she was the daughter of the late Clarence Walker and Cora Jane Honaker Holliday. She was preceded in death by her husband of 73+ years Clarence Edward, son-in-law Clyde Cooper, sisters Evelyn, Gladys, Anna, Edith, Glenna and Reva, and brothers Don and Clarence (Buck), who was killed in World War II.

Cora was a 1944 graduate of Rupert High School and a faithful member of the Rupert Church of God for many years. Later in life she attended the Caldwell Pentecostal Holiness Church and the Emmanuel Open Bible Church on Vago Road.

Cora enjoyed spending time with her family, making her famous macaroni and cheese for her grandchildren and great grandchildren, attending church, and listening to Christian television. She was a woman of great faith and a firm believer in the power of prayer. All who knew her treasured the times spent together.
