Cora Jane Uzzle

Cora Jane Uzzle, born January 31st, 1935, was surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren when she left her earthly body at 1:25pm on Thursday May 4th. Heaven’s sweetest angels carried her home through the pearly gates of Heaven where she reunited with her husband, mother, siblings, and grandchildren. She met her savior face to face for the first time, and we are certain she is playing the piano in Heaven’s Choir.

Cora Jane “York” Uzzle was the youngest of 11 siblings. She was a strong Christian woman of faith who left a legacy that will go on for generations. She had a love for piano and used her talents to play at church for many years. She was a member of several gospel quartets, directed many VBS’s, and worked hard for her family and for the Lord. She was a longstanding member of Pleasant Valley Missionary Baptist Church. She was a true Proverbs 31 woman.

Cora was preceded in death by her loving husband Clarence “Whitey” Uzzle; her parents William and Ocie York; her grandchildren Jeremy Tolbert and Mark Tolbert; her Great Grandson Eric Tolbert and her siblings Charlie York, Paul York, Eunice Tatum, Ruthie Ford, Lena Donohoo, Lawrence York, Gene York, Wavel York, Helen Culp and Lonnie York.

She is survived by her son, Danny Uzzle (Connie), daughters Gail Stafford, Vicky Harper (Jeff), and Bonnie Gibson. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Matthew Tolbert, Robin Bedwell (Brian), Melanie Grimes (Brian), Corey Inglish (Nicole), Chad Harper (Lindsay), and Kayla Joseph (Justin). She is survived by her step-grandchildren, Lisa Mitchuson (Robert), and Sheila Chandler (Michael). She is survived by her great-grandchildren, Isaac, Lindsey, and Hannah Tolbert, Ethan Tolbert, Justin and Kaitlyn Tolbert, Jalyn and Landon Bedwell, Faith and Hope Pratt, Maci and Rylee Inglish, Noah, Bella, and Jett Joseph, Gracie Starks, Madison Tolbert, Sam Inglish, Brayden, Nicholas, and Liberty Grimes, Hunter and Leigha McVickers, Chloe Anderson, Shelby Wininger, Ali Mitchuson, and Chloe, Jacob, and Jared Chandler.
