She was raised in rural Laclede County, and then lived most of her adult life in Macks Creek. She was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family and also worked as a professional house cleaner for many years. For the last several years she made her home near Lebanon, Missouri.
Nora made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life and was a longtime member of Crossroads Freewill Baptist Church.
She was known for her boundless energy and tender heart. She was very generous and didn’t want her family to worry about her. She loved traveling with her family and her favorite place to go each year was Silver Dollar City to see the Christmas lights. Her family was very dear to her and she especially enjoyed having time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nora could often be found sitting on her back porch watching the wildlife.
Nora was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she made with them during her lifetime.
