Our sympathy and prayers for each of you. Besides being one of the many Sheva Girls that attended RBC I think back to the Gospel Rally around 1970 when she and Mr. Alligood opened their home for housing for several of us Sheva Girls while attending classes and sessions. Such special memories of her hospitality. She certainly had a special joy inside that was manifested in her laughter. Can’t imagine the wonderful family reunion she must be enjoying. Sending our love !
So sorry to hear this…much love!
Sending my condolences to Philip and family. I have only known them for a few years but thankful for their service to our Lord. Ora Jane is in a beautiful place now with nothing broken and peace and comfort.
Sincerest condolences to Phil and family. Mrs. Alligood was an amazing Christian lady who touched countless lives . Vivian and I are honored to have known her. She was a tireless worker in the Kingdom of God.
so sorry for your loss I liked her in the cafeteria I use to go to roanoke bible college and she was very nice
Keith and I offer our condolences to each of you. Mrs. “OJA” was indeed a gem. A very rare jewel. Always a smile and a kind word. Such an example of a godly wife, mother and friend. I know she will be missed by many but thank the Lord for that hope referred to in I Thessalonians 4, we that know Jesus WILL see her again! God bless you all, you’re in our prayers.
Thoughts and prayers to all who knew Mrs. Alligood. I met her once at our church when she and Mr. Alligood came to see their son preach. Like any parent, she was very proud of him! That’s how moms are. They love their family and are the best cheerleaders! I could see that both of Neal’s parents were overjoyed for what he was doing for the Lord. Now she’ll watch her family from heaven with her beautiful smile. Praying for peace.
Our Prayers are with you. We appreciate your family for your life in Christ
Thinking of this wonderful family brings joy to our house, many times we have had the opportunity to be together and every time was wonderful with joy and laughter, we pray for the family who will all be together one day, o what a wonderful time being with our Lord our Hearts will be blessed forever when we all are joined together in that heavenly home.
On behalf of Kendall and Lisa Williams we would like to express our sincere condolences to Mr. Alligood, Neal (our brother), Lisa, and their family. May God comfort you at this time. Hold on to those memories of Ms. Ora Jane. She will always be with you.

My sympathies to you, Phil, and your family. Whenever I hear your names it transfers me back to when you preached in Havelock as a young student at then Roanoke Bible College. Both of you were always folks that my parents, Don and Ruth, thought a lot of and was always glad to see you and hear you preach. My heart goes out to you all during this time of grieve and sadness. But, Ora Jane is in a better place and in no more pain. With the Lord’s blessing we will all see each other again.
Mr. Alligood and family, know you are in our thoughts and prayers.May God give all of you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Thinking of all of u at this time. A lady who had all the gifts to share with others , always a smile and never complained, can just imagine what is waiting for her in her heavenly home, yes she will be missed but no more pain or suffering . To the man in her life he will miss her more than we have words but one day they will be together again. This is people who were really your friend. Sorry to say we can not attend staying close at home. Prayers to all, still afraid of the Virus our Hearts will be with you.
Phillip and family, we are so sorry for your loss. What a blessing to know that Ora Jane is rejoicing , free of the worldly pain she has endured, and that you will be together again one day. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
