Ora Mae was born Ora Mae Brown on July 25th,1933 in Boley Oklahoma to Johnnie Sr. and Almeda Brown. At an early age, she moved to Wichita, Kansas, where many of her life’s memories were created.

She married and raised a beautiful family. Known for living life on her own terms, she embraced each day fully and maintained close relationships with family and friends.

After a career with Beech Aircraft she retired and spent her later years truly living life to the fullest.

Ora Mae traveled and surrounded herself with the love of her family across many places she called home. From time spent in Wichita Kansas with her sons Bruce & Donald, to Birmingham Alabama with her daughters Julie & Brenda, and most recently in Greensboro North Carolina where she shared her days between her son Dexter & granddaughter Oraleta, grandson-in-law Shawn and great-grandchildren Myles and Lydia—each chapter was filled with connection and care. She lived on her own terms, with strength and grace, loving deeply and being deeply loved in return. Her presence brought warmth wherever she went and she was embraced by all.
