LaVeta Grace Vore
November 7, 1924 - August 7, 2023

LaVeta Grace Vore, 98 years old, of Cleo Springs, Oklahoma, passed away August 7, 2023, while surrounded by her loving family.

LaVeta was an only child born November 7, 1924, to Nelson and Edna Sisson at home, southeast of Waynoka. LaVeta then moved with her parents to Mexico, where she attended her first year of school. They then moved to the ranch west of Cleo Springs, where she lived in a dugout underground for a while and then in a railroad car back in the hills, before making a home on the Hess/Stull Ranch.

LaVeta attended grade school at Oakdale, then went on to attend school at Cleo Springs Public School. As a young person, LaVeta was not only a ranch kid with all the responsibilities that come with that, but she was very active in 4-H where she met her late husband, Bob Vore, at the age of 15. LaVeta loved horses, especially her horse named Nancy and her donkey, whom only LaVeta could ride. LaVeta also spent her younger years as a baton twirler, tap dancer, and ballet dancer for entertainment at numerous schools.

LaVeta and Bob Vore were united in marriage on August 24, 1941, and they lived together their entire life, 63 years, on part of the Old Hess Ranch. To that union, two beautiful girls were born, Karen Vore Cell and Bonnie Vore Shaklee. LaVeta was not only a wonderful mother and rancher's wife who helped raise Registered Red Herefords and highly bred Race Horses, she was also a member of the Home Welfare Home Demonstration Club for many years, 4-H leader, lifelong member of the Dacoma Church of God, President of the Church Missionary, youth sponsor and Sunday School Teacher. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

LaVeta is predeceased by her parents, Nelson and Edna Sisson, and her husband, Bob Vore.

She is survived by her daughters, Karen Cell and husband, Charly, of Cleo Springs and Bonnie Shaklee and husband, Rick, of Cleo Springs; grandchildren, Dustin Earnest, Taren Earnest, Chance Cell and wife Devery, Mitsy Shaklee, Amber Green and husband Shane, Kodee Shaklee and fiance Chris Orr; great-grandchildren, Siera Earnest and fiancé Sean Doherty, Stanton Earnest, Taylor Lakey and husband John, Bodie Cell and fiance Chacy, C.J.
