To this union they had one child, Valeria Paulette (Williams) Moore. Nora had a large presence and infectious laugh. She was the Matriarch of a large family and her generosity and huge heart reached out beyond the family which gained her the reputation of Aunt Nora to everyone she met. The things that brought her pure joy was spending time with family, serving others, traveling and crafting. If she told you something was ‘Neat’ that was her seal of approval.
