Nora was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother as well as a Girl Scout leader, an active member of her church, a member of the Washington County Historical Society, and a longtime member of the D.A.R.. Some of her loves included her family, the river, the beach, swimming, reading, cooking, and baking.

She was a loving and much loved mother who will be forever missed by her family and friends.
