Lora Ellen West Snow, 86, of Benton passed away on February 22, 2023. Lora was born to Dock Stephen and Nola Gentry West on November 4, 1936, a few minutes after her twin, Cora. They were born in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. She was a member of Faith United Methodist Church and Agape Church. With her husband, Kenneth, they founded the Arkansas Orchid Society in Little Rock and ran a preventive maintenance business, Sno-Tro, Inc., until his death in 1990.
Lora graduated from Spring Creek High School in 1954. She attended nurses training school and then, in her sixties, went back to school and received her Associates Degree in Early Childhood development.
She is preceded in death by her husband of over 32 years, Kenneth L. Snow; her son, Stephen Snow; her parents; her twin and several siblings. Lora left behind to miss her, three daughters, Susan (William) Duck, Cheryl (Gregory) King and Carla (Jason) Adamson; 5 grandsons, Jeremiah (Jordan) Duck, Zachariah (Sarah) Duck, Jack Adamson, Timmon (Madison) King and Grayson King; her brother, Nathan West and Sister-in-law, Suanne Eshleman; as well as a host of nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank Mount Carmel Community in Benton for the love and care they bestowed on Lora, when she could no longer live on her own, for over 12 years; Alcoa Pines Nursing and Rehabilitation; as well as Arkansas Hospice for their love and care in making sure she has been comfortable during the last few months.
Visitation will be held with a service at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home at 1:00 on Saturday February 25, 2023, interment at Crestlawn Memorial Park in Conway, Arkansas.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Lora's name to Arkansas Children's Hospital.

Tom and I are so sad to read about Lora’s passing. Have many wonderful memories of visits many years ago with both your Mom and Dad, at your home and at orchid meetings. Lora had a sweet calming spirit. Such a wonderful family. Rest in peace â¤ï¸

Mrs Lora was a teacher for my son and nephew many years ago. We all remember her fondly. She was a kind person and the children adored her. When they saw her away from school, they would run up to her and hug her. We thank her for her many years of taking care of countless children. The family is in our thoughts and prayers in this time of loss.

Àunt Lora always made me feel special even when I was a child growing up and that meant so much as "the lost child" in a blended family. We have communicated through out the years and was privileged to visit with her once in Little Rock. We enjoyed exchanging Christmas cards. I am so thankful for her Christian faith which causes me to celebrate the fact that we shall meet again. Lloyd Fish, Jr (JR)
