Cora Ann Hess

Cora was born on September 4, 1990 in Kemmerer WY where she joined her older brothers to complete our little family.

     From the time she could stand Cora loved music and dancing and was her dad's favorite dance partner. In high school, she enjoyed playing basketball and swimming but she especially loved being a member of the competitive dance team, Dance Xtreme. She loved and admired Zana, Lindsey and McKell and her fellow team mates. At seventeen, she married Stephen M. Knoll and also gave birth to her most precious gift and the love of her life, Savannah. Stephen and Cora divorced the following year. Cora loved having fun in the outdoors. She loved camping, fishing, rock hunting, snow mobiling, and good company and a cold beer around the campfire. She also loved watching NFL football and cheering on her favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys.  Like her dad, she enjoyed cooking and working with food and was often employed in fast food.

     Family was important to Cora and she enjoyed spending time with them. Especially her brothers and she could usually be found at the skate park or somewhere playing video games with them. She also enjoyed the times she spent with her mom and Savannah shopping or going to concerts.
