Sorry to hear about your Mother,
Love you girls
You Father
Nora had such a huge impact on our lives. She kept both sets of our twin girls from the time they were babies until they started school. She had our grandson, Riley Bruce for a period of time as well. Nora was a 2nd grandmother to our children, she was loved by our family and will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Love from the Dowell’s- Bobby, Kari, Shanlee, Tiffany, Shelby, Devon and Riley Bruce
I am sorry for the loss of Lenora. She was a friend many years ago through school and Buckner Baptist Church.
I am so sorry for your loss. Nora was a special person that gave her love to a lot of children . My children were 3 of those lucky kids . I always considered Lenora a friend and feel blessed to have shared her life. My thoughts and prayers for peace are with you all. Tammie, Mackenzie ,Casey and Erin O’Brien
‘Nora’ was a great gift to me as a child of her daycare. I’m 30 now but I have several pictures and even more memories of growing up in her home. Erin O’Brien as mentioned in one of the comments above was my best friend during my preschool years. I had the pleasure of working for Tammy at a local restaurant here in Fayetteville and got to learn more about Nora during that time. I just recently shared a tea party with my own 4 year old with a China tea set that I had received from Nora as a Christmas gift one year and I think about her often.
