where they traveled to places like New York and Las Vegas. She also enjoyed
time spent with friends from work by bowling in local leagues. Nora quite often
described her years at Delco Moraine as “some of the best years of her life”. After retirement she enjoyed looking after her
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, spending time with her brothers and
sisters and their families, as well as meticulously working to make her home
and yard look beautiful. Nora really took great pride in her family, her job,
and the things that she worked so hard to enjoy with her friends and family.
