In 1951, the family moved from the Swan Valley to The Pas MB, and in 1954, moved to Winnipeg. Winnipeg was home for Nora. She raised her family there and was very proud to have a 25 year career with the Manitoba Department of Highways. Nora was passionate about travel and after retirement traveled with friends to many parts of the world. In 2003, Nora moved to Saskatoon to be closer to family and resided in The Palisades.
