Lora Leona Dillinger Sissum, born September 11, 1956, left this world on April 7, 2021. She was the daughter of the late Carl and Gertrude Dillinger.
Lora leaves behind her husband, David Sissum; their two daughters, Sarah Tuley Ballance (Jody Teague) and Sally Tuley (Derrick) Schatte; four grandchildren, Laynie Schatte, Brendan Ballance, Peyton Ballance and Sydnie Schatte. She also leaves behind five siblings, Sharlotte (David) Kirkman, Belinda (Bill) Hribovsek, Arlessa Russell, Carl (Cona) Dillinger Jr. and Cathy (Bruce) Rider; ten nieces and nephews and several great-nieces and nephews.
Lora and David were married April 8, 1996. She was a member of Friendship Baptist Church and was a wonderful Christian woman who loved God. Her biggest delight in life was the times she and David spent with their children and grandchildren. She loved to laugh and talk. She never met a stranger and she always tried to share her love of God with others. We love her and will miss her more than words can express. We know she is in Heaven seeing all the glories of God’s promises. She takes with her a bit of each of us, but the love and memories she leaves behind will be with us always. Rest in peace our dear sweet mom, wife, grandmother, sister and friend.
A graveside service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, April 12 at Dudley Cemetery in Dudley with Rev. Lonny Mittag officiating.
