Nora was a talented seamstress creating treasured Christmas decorations as well as clothes and costumes for friends and family throughout the years. She loved to sing and had a great passion for all types of music, especially Big Band tunes from the 1940’s.

Nora was a bright light in this world. She was fiercely independent, open-minded and loving to everyone that was blessed to meet her. She loved holidays and would often open her doors to make sure everyone had a place to be together and celebrate.

She will be greatly missed by all her many friends and family but her light and her laugh will always remain.
