Ora Varner is a woman of the Lord whom Tom Roy, pastor of Marbury Baptist Church, calls “really remarkable.”
On Oct. 16, Varner will turn 100, a milestone that will be celebrated by family and friends at the church. “She’s been a blessing to us,” Roy said. “She never says anything bad about anyone. She’s always encouraging people and everyone in the church just loves her.”
Only recently did Varner step down from her position as a Sunday School teacher, a role she filled for 61 years. She has also served as her church’s Woman’s Missionary Union director in the past.
Varner has seven children and many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. She enjoys painting, quilting and gardening.
