LaNora Mae Metheny, 77, of Marion, passed away peacefully at Salem Springlake Nursing Home on Friday, July 8, 2022. She was born on June 30, 1945 to LeVon Metheny.

She was a long-time member of Central Baptist Church. LaNora was a former employee of the Crittenden County School District and Crittenden County Hospital. She also used her gifts to care for many little ones and older ones in their homes throughout the county.
