Cleora (Lawson) Newell, 95 of Orma WV passed away on July 15, 2021 at Hospice Care of CAMC Memorial, after a brief illness. She was a lifelong resident of Orma.
She was born on Spruce, off of Frozen Run, December 30, 1925. She was the daughter of the late John W. and Zanna (Tucker) Lawson. She was a homemaker most of her life but she also enjoyed her small glass shop and had a passion for restoring antique furniture.
She loved traveling to various flea markets or yard sales in search of the antiques and depression glass. Her best work was the love she stitched into her hand pieced/hand quilted quilts. These were her projects during the winter when it was too cold to raise her garden or can food.
