Cora Ogburn

Funeral services for Mrs. Cora Axson Ogburn, of East Dublin, will be held at 1 PM on Tuesday, February 26, 2019, at the Valdosta Missionary Baptist Church, 1975 Georgia Highway 199 South in East Dublin, Georgia. Reverend John R. Sutton will deliver the eulogy. Interment will follow in the church cemetery.

Mrs. Ogburn, one of five children, was born on September 24, 1940, to the late Mr. Clarence "Jack " Axson, and Mrs. Minnie Stephens Axson. At an early age, Mrs. Ogburn joined the First Seventh Day Adventist Church. She served the church faithfully as an usher, and member of the Bible Study Class until her health began to fail. She also attended the Valdosta Missionary Baptist Church with her husband where she participated in the Deaconess Ministry, Sunday School, and Vacation Bible School Ministry. She loved to study the word. You would often find her reading the Bible upon visitations at her home, and at convalescent facilities. Mrs. Ogburn was a stern, soft-spoken woman filled with powerful words. She had a beautiful, charming smile, loved laughter, and loved being around people who enjoyed laughter and discussing the word. Many days, Mrs. Ogburn would be found watching television and keeping company with Bobo Ogburn, her beloved cat.

She was married to Mr. Willie Ogburn for fifty-two years. To this union, blessings flowed through two children. She was preceded in death by a son, Carl J. Axson, two brothers-in-law, Oscar Ogburn, J. C. Ogburn, and by a sister-in-law, Lillie Mae Ogburn Knight. She passed away on February 21, 2019.

Mrs. Ogburn's precious memories will always be cherished and treasured by a lovingly devoted husband, Willie Ogburn of East Dublin, one daughter, Tequila Ogburn of Dublin, one brother, Marshal (Gloria) Axson of Dublin, a sister-in-law, Louise Brantley Ogburn of East Dublin, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.

The family is receiving friends at 222 Macon Street in East Dublin.
