Nora Sarmiento

Nora was born on October 27, 1942 in Quime, La Paz, Bolivia. She immigrated to the United States in February of 1966. She was a wife, mother, homemaker and the matriarch of her family. She also worked in the aerospace manufacturing field for many years. She enjoyed family gatherings, gardening, music, making sure her family was well fed, dancing, watching her novellas, and doting over her grandchildren. Nora loved taking care of others as you can attest to, if ever you were a guest in her home. She built a beautiful life filled with laughter, hard work, and unlimited, unconditional love for her family and friends.
