Carla Orpha Cochrun

Carla Orpha Cochrun was born July 29, 1961, and passed away November 1st, 2023. As her family, we were blessed with her feisty, brave, and kind heart that loved us so well. She wanted nothing more than for her life to not be a burden to her family. And for that, we are asking for donations to help offset the costs of her medical bills and funeral services. As we know more of what those costs might be, we'll update our goal. Any and all help is appreciated, and we are so thankful to be surrounded by so many incredible people.
