She was a 1960 graduate of Berry College in Rome, Ga. with a bachelor's degree in education and was a retired teacher. Nora was a faithful servant of her Lord and Savior through teaching Sunday School, Bible School and running the church library in her home church of Westwood Baptist Church in Live Oak, Florida. After moving to North Carolina 18 years ago to be near her children and grandchildren, Nora became a member of First Baptist Church of Asheboro where she was a member of Teresa Campbell’s Sunday School class.
