Ora Juanita "Jack" Cotton, age 101, of North Platte, Nebraska passed away on December 23, 2019 at the North Platte Care Center.

Jack was born on July 31, 1918 in Cope Colorado to Jesse Lee and Maria May (Gray) Bandy.&nbsp; She grew up in Garden County, Nebraska on the family ranch.&nbsp; On October 26, 1935, in Alliance, Nebraska, she married John Robert Cotton in a double wedding with her sister, Thelma, and her husband, Billie Gordon.&nbsp; Bob and Jack lived on the Bandy Family Ranch and worked for several other ranches before moving to Tryon, Nebraska in 1946.&nbsp; They started carrying mail in 1946 on a rural mail route of approximately 75 miles, six days a week, in sun, rain and snow, and continued that for 33 years.&nbsp; It was there that Jack developed her distaste for snow and cold weather after having to scoop and walk to neighboring houses many times.&nbsp; They built the Cotton Cafe in Tryon, Nebraska in February 1954 and operated it until 1956.&nbsp; In the Spring, from 1973 until 1988, Jack worked for Huebner's Garden Center.&nbsp; It was her dream job allowing her to plant and tend all the plants in the greenhouses.&nbsp; She developed a lifelong friendship with the Huebner family and credited them with teaching her all she knew about flowers.

Jack's interests were many.&nbsp; She and Bob traveled many miles camping in tents and campers, one homemade by Bob.&nbsp; They were in every state in the U.S., except Alabama, across Canada and into Mexico and the Caribbean Islands, and went on several cruises.&nbsp; Jack always wanted to be on the move even to her last days in her wheelchair.&nbsp; She loved flowers and her yard and spent many hours in the yard and greenhouse that her son, Bobby, built for her.&nbsp; In her down time, she seemed to always have needles in her hands either crocheting or knitting.&nbsp; She made beautiful tablecloths for all her granddaughters as wedding gifts, sweater coats, afghans too numerous to count, and in her later years, she made stacks of covered clothes hangers to give away.&nbsp; Her most unusual interest was digging for and finding antique bottles in abandoned homesteads and dumps.&nbsp; She and a couple of friends could be found with the dirt flying and an occasional holler of "Look what I found!"&nbsp; Jack was strong, fiercely independent, needed little material goods, and never complained about her lot in life.&nbsp; She was a rock in her family.

Survivors include her daughters, Carolyn Anthony and Reva (Bill) Coulter all of North Platte, Nebraska; daughter-in-law, Lois Cotton of Stapleton, Nebraska; grandchildren, Deana (Aaron) Whittemore of Bozeman, Montana, Terri (fiance Alex Kiss) Cotton of Monrovia, California, Bobbi Jaye Cotton of Morgan Hill, California, Craig (Hillary) Cotton of Omaha, Nebraska, Kimra (Mark) Schipporeit of Kearney, Nebraska, Mark (Ranee) Anthony of Alliance, Nebraska, and Rebecca (fiance Jason Bennett) Coulter of Lincoln, Nebraska; 9 great-grandchildren; and 5 great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bob; her son, Robert Boyd (Bobby); son-in-law, Otis Anthony; and two granddaughters, Leanna Coulter and Rebecca Cotton.

Memorials are suggested to the McPherson County Fire Department or the Tryon Methodist Church.&nbsp; Online condolences may be shared at www.adamsswanson.com.

Funeral Services will be at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at Adams &amp; Swanson Funeral Home with the Reverend Mark Baldwin officiating.&nbsp; Burial will be in the Miller Cemetery near Tryon, Nebraska.&nbsp; Visitation will be from noon to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2020 at Adams &amp; Swanson Funeral Home, which is in charge of arrangements.
