She earned a Bachelor’s degree from Slippery Rock University. Lora worked as a Medical Social Worker for various local hospitals prior to becoming a Special Education Teacher for Dickinson Independent School District. She had a passion for helping others, giving back to her community, teaching Autistic children, and inspiring others to make the world a better place. Lora loved to spend quality time with family, take vacations, cuddle with her dogs, and relax by the pool. Anyone that knew her would agree that she was a strong advocate for her students and always put everyone ahead of herself, every time, without fail. She will forever be in our hearts.
