Lora Blaylock was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, and began studying music in junior high at Stivers and Colonel White Music Magnet schools. She came to Indiana to attend the University of Evansville, from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Music Management. Lora plays the flute and handbells, and has sung soprano with the Evansville Philharmonic Chorus and Evansville Chamber Singers over the years. She is the Office Administrator for First Pres Evansville.

Lora met her husband Paul, an Electrical Engineer, at UE, despite growing up within an hour’s drive of each other in Ohio. They still have family there and enjoy visiting whenever schedules allow. Together, they sing in the choir of First Pres Evansville and have attended the King’s course in Wilkes-Barre over the years.

When not in the church office or choir loft, Lora enjoys cooking, gardening, sewing, and old television shows. She and Paul love living in downtown Evansville and are still happily married even after building their home-away-from-home (aka the garage!).
