Cora May was born August 23,1936 to Roy Gilbert McGough and Flora Edna Parent McGough at Mirror Lake, Texas. She attended Ranger Schools and as an adult continued her education at Ranger Jr. College. On August 8, 1953 she married the love of her life Clifton “Chip” Walton. Together they raised four daughters, she was a devoted wife, mother and Nana.

In her teens, Cora May worked with her dad at his car dealership in Ranger and at the Porky Pig. Later on she worked as a Nurse’s Aide and Medication Aide at Western Manor Nursing Home, A Clerk at JRB and Quality Foods, Supervisor of House Keeping at Ranger General Hospital, and Manager of the Ranger Swimming Pool.

Cora May, truly loved her family, friends and everyone around her right where they were in life. She raised daughters to know Christ and guided them to build a strong christian foundation. She gave them the love of music and taught them to love and accept people beyond their circumstances, and to be compassionate and empathetic. She often said,“If you see something good or admirable about someone don’t just tell others. Tell that person, they need to hear it too.” As Nana, she was the ultimate grandparent. Giving them all a special name and never failing to remind them just how special they were in her eyes. She taught them to laugh, love and play everyday. She shared with them her love of music, singing and dancing. She was always up for an adventure and encouraged them to be brave and try new things. They will greatly miss her wit, abundant love, and above all else her Nana hugs and Nana kisses. We will all miss her sparkle.
