Lora Wamplear Albright
Lora died peacefully Saturday,
June 29, 2013, after a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born March 23, 1927 in
Caldwell, Idaho. She also lived in Oklahoma and Star, Idaho while growing up in
a family of seven. She was married to her lifetime sweetheart and soul
mate Dick in 1950. They had two children, Jan and Gary, and made Boise their
home. Lora was very involved in her kids activities as they attended South
Boise schools. Dick and Lora had wonderful friends and neighbors while living
on Division Street. In 1966, the family moved from Boise to McCall for Dick's
work with Eddy's Bread. There she learned to become a high mountain gardener
with a very short growing season. However, she still had folks stopping
at her house asking what kind of flowers she had. She also mastered massive,
annual yard sales with several other friends. She would go to other yard sales
shopping for future yard sale inventory. Once Dick retired, they moved
back to Boise where they lived until his and her death. As in years before, her
yard and flowers became her passion and focus. She was eager to share starts
with any who asked or showed interest. Again, her neighbors became her very
good friends. On June 29th she demonstrated the circle of life for us. Her
eighth great grandchild, Sophia Lynn was born 1 1/2 hrs before she died. It
comforts the family to know that she is dancing with her best guy Dick at the
Miramar Ballroom in the sky.
Lora was preceded in death by her
husband, Dick and her brother Lewis. She is survived by her sisters Myrna
and Glenda, brother Marvin, children Jan (Dave) and Gary (Robyn), 4
grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
A special thank you to the
Journey Hospice team, her niece Claudia and Ms. Noemi of Best Home Care.
