Ora Erbland
September 25, 1924 ~ February 18, 2010
Resided in:
Pueblo, CO
Ora Erbland, 85, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Feb. 18, 2010. Ora is survived by her daughters, April (Paul) Scott of Pueblo and Deborah (Ed) Nielsen of Ogden, Utah; six grandchildren, Brian Moss, Brandon Moss, Jarrod Moss, Tyler Moss, Amber Edwards and Ashlee Rasmussen; 14 great-grandchildren; and sister, Grace Waters of Covington, Ky.
Ora was born on Sept. 25, 1924, the youngest child of Louis and Ada Coffey. She worked all her life and raised both her daughters as a single parent in an amazing manner. Always the lady, her daughters always came first. In Ogden, Utah she worked at Stimson's Garden Center for over 25 years. Ora worked until she was 79.
Ora came to live in Pueblo with April and Paul (whom she loved like one of her own) in 2006; and we are SO thankful. One of her proudest moments was in 2007 when she was a Silver Queen finalist for the Colorado State Fair.
Ora loved, and was loved by many - specifically, her dear friend Lenae Aragon. For such a tiny person; she will leave a very big hole in so many hearts!!
Special thanks to the folks at University Park Care Center for taking care of our mom during her final difficult months. Per her wishes, cremation, Montgomery & Steward Crematorium, with no services to follow.

Dear April and Paul,
I was touched this morning as I read Ora’s obituary here in the Standard Examiner. Thank you for being so considerate as to inform us of your mother’s passing. Ora was such a wonderful part of our Garden Center and was a sweet friend and conscientious employee to me. I have many fond memories of her always being on time for work even though she walked to and from work and, of course, her making the most beautiful pine bough wreaths at Christmas. We will all miss her very much, although I’m glad she was able to spend her remaining years with you. Please accept my sincere condolances. May the Lord bless your family. With Warm Regards, Dan Vaughan
