A longtime resident of Round Rock she married her High School sweetheart, Gordon Ellis Woods on July 25, 1962. They were soon blessed with three children, Whitney, Rickey and Richey. Knowing the value of education, Ora set out to study and work hard to earn her GED. She aced her last exam on her 30th birthday, a birthday gift to herself. She later continued on to mold young minds as a Title 1 Teacher’s Aide and Physical Education Aide at Pond Springs Elementary. Later she had a lengthy career at Tellabs Communication until her retirement in 1999. Ora had many pleasures in life including cooking, gardening, singing, dancing, photography and arts and crafts. Many people were the lucky recipients of an original Ora Woods greeting card, a gift of Love. The Lord called her home on February 9th 2018, surrounded by her cherished family. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Gordon Ellis Woods, her children, Whitney Shyvone, Rickey Fevinel (Kristie), Richey Ranell (LaAunt), granddaughters, Brittany Kay, Ashley Marie, grandson, Storm Montrell, great grandchildren Zirah Nave Woods and Jeremiyah Montrell Woods, her sisters, Iva Toliver and Patricia McVade.
