Mom was born in Cork, Ireland January 9, 1918 and was raised in a Military family and educated in both Ireland and England. She met dad during the second World War and they married October 12, 1942 in Edinburg, Scotland. As a war bride she crossed the sea to Canada with three sons and started her new life. She lived in many Military bases across Canada raising her family and eventually settled in Winnipeg in 1962. Mom enjoyed gardening, reading, cooking, bridge and most of all time spent with her family and friends.

The family would like to extend their thanks to the staff at St. Norbert Personal Care Home for their kindness and assistance during the time mom was in their care. Donations may be made in Noras memory to the Manitoba Lung Association, 629 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB. May the road rise to meet you; May the wind always be at your back; May the sunshine warm upon your face; The rains fall soft upon your fields; And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
