She later continued her education by attending Arellano University where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing in 1978.

Falling in love is a huge milestone for any person. Just knowing that you have met that special someone is a magical feeling. Norine experienced that with her sweetheart Dominador F. Feria and the couple exchanged wedding vows on November 3, 1984. The ceremony took place in San Diego, California. Empathic and loyal, Norine was committed to making her new family happy.

While everything a person does in life contributes to who they grow into, it is ultimately this same person who holds the most influence on the next generation.

Norine worked hard to be a good mother to her children and she did her best to fulfill their needs, raising her children in a positive and nurturing environment. Later in life, Norine was blessed with the gift of one grandson, Andrey.
