Woman's Near Death Experience

June 21, 2004
Reported by KPLC Staff

Many older people say the older they get the less they fear death. A Lake Charles woman lost her fear of death when she almost died.

At this point in Ezora Victorian's life it seems as though she runs on faith: "I've had oh, so many heart failures, I got a pacemaker."

Miranda Anderson is her niece: "She's had numerous knee replacements."

Ezora: "Knee replacements-- I've had twelve operations."

Miranda: "Diabetes."

Ezora: "They've been in my heart five times."

Yet she has no fear of death-- especially since last November when she says she died: "I's just beautiful...beautiful light. When they took that respirator off me in November, I saw angels."

Ezora is 88 years old and has always been deeply religious. During her near death experience she believes Jesus spoke to her: "I was traveling. I traveled, I was trying, I was trying so hard to get to the end. I wanted to see what was behind that beautiful light. That light was big as this house. And when it opened up it said i had more work to do and that's when I come back."

Ezora has picked her flowers, casket, coaches for the family and she's bought her plot. Now she waits patiently for passage: "I don't mind dying. It's the sweetest-- death is the sweetest. You don't feel anything, you don't see anything but everything beautiful."
