Nora Ann Rose Cubberly

faith strong. She was surrounded by her loving children, where she resided at the home of her

son Charles in Oxford. She was the beloved wife of 67 years of the late Henry (Hank) Cubberly.

Nora was born to the late Anna (Montabana) and Charles Speer in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn,

NY, where she was raised, enjoying school, playing piano, and many friends. She also studied

for two years at a local community college and worked for an upstanding mentoring attorney

who taught her important wise skills that she mentioned many times throughout her life.

Nora met her soulmate Hank, who would become her husband, at a Newman Club dance. He

was so enamored that he told a friend the next day he would marry the gal he met the night

before. They married on August 25, 1951. They lived in Brooklyn, then Maryland, and in 1960,

they relocated to their final home to share the next sixty years in Danbury, CT.

Nora was the loving mother of six children. She also was the owner/operator of Rock a Bye sitter

service for ten years. Later, she worked as a certified nursing assistant at a nursing center and in

private homes.

Nora and Hank enjoyed life to the fullest and shared many interests and activities, including

being very patriotic Amway distributors, very loving and compassionate members of the

Franciscan order and St. Joseph and St. Elizabeth Seton churches, friendships and singing at

Danbury Senior Center. For fifteen winters they spent time in Honduras where they had a home

and helped guide and teach struggling families there. They also took some winter “snowbird”

getaway time at Mid-Florida Lakes community where Nora’s sister Rosalee vacationed

occasionally. They all enjoyed the music and comedy entertainment there.

Nora was also predeceased (1/26/21) by her dear sister and only sibling Rosalee Speer. Nora will

be sadly missed by her family and friends. She leaves many who love her. She is survived by her

six children: Christopher and wife Laura, Kathleen and husband Daniel, Annamarie, Norann,

Charles and David and wife Amy; by her nine grandchildren: Annamarie, Stephen, Christen,

Aron, Angela, Charles Jr., Ashley, Brendan, and Evan; and by her five great-grandchildren:
