I worked with Nora for any year at Willis. She would keep us laughing every day with her witty comments. She was definitely one of a kind!

So sorry to hear of Nora’s passing. 
I was fortunate enough to talk to her several months ago. What a hoot.❤️
She made the years at Ethan Allen interesting to say the least. They were lucky to have such a fun, caring person at the front desk. 
I hope her and Joyce are having a great time catching up....🙏❤️
God speed Nora!😘

It was my pleasure to know Nora for many years as our receptionist. It was the perfect job for a people lover like Nora. She was always thinking of others, particularly her family those of whom were never far from her thoughts.
She was kind and generous to a fault. I think she loved garage sales so much because it allowed her to express her love for others by buying small gifts for them. It occurs to me that one of the main reasons she worked was to be able to buy things for others.
She was a lovely person with a wonderful sense of humor and a kind heart. 
Please accept my sympathies for your loss.

I worked with Nora at Willis Furniture and she always had a smile on her face and a great story to tell.  She would make a bad day into a great one.  She will be missed!

I knew Nora as the receptionist at Willis.  Her humor was infectious- the stories she could tell!  She was known for her poems and sometimes silly notes. She was always very empathetic to any problems a customer or employee had.  She loved her friends and family dearly. 

Nora kept us laughing at Willis Furniture. She always had a funny thing to say, she was quick witted. I loved her. I have missed her. I am so sorry for your loss.

Nora was our receptionist for many years.  She was the best!  Great personality, caring and always wrote and read our annual Christmas story/poem about the employees.  She brought lots of laughter to all.  Rest In Peace.  

Nora and I worked together for many years. She was always upbeat, always in a good mood. She will be missed.

Nora was one of my best friends we spoke daily I've been trying for weeks to reach her, she will truly be missed
