Nora, a lifelong Texas resident, grew up in San Angelo and later made her home in Canton. A true country girl, she loved westerns, animals, and the peace of rural life. A longtime supporter of The Humane Society, Nora cared for many animals, including chickens, peacocks, and her beloved cat. With a green thumb that seemed to touch everything she grew, her garden was a true reflection of her love for nature. Nora also enjoyed painting and embroidery in her downtime. Above all, she was deeply devoted to her family and her faith, leaving a legacy of love and kindness.
She is preceded in death by her father, Harold Bradley; beloved husband, Virgil David Kelley.
Nora is survived by her children: Tomasina and James Whisenant, Wes and Tracy Gunn; grandchildren: Katherine Gunn, Storm Gunn, Lindsey Cates Walden, Kaitlyn Cates, Kayla Whisenant and Lowell Whisenant; great grandchildren, Brynley, Ruby, and Magnolia; brothers: Bruce Bradley and Paul Bradley; nieces and nephews: Charles Bradley, Shanda Bradley, William Bradley and Paula Bradley; a host of other family and friends.
