She was a lifelong resident of the Williamson and Travis County area. On October 30, 1948 she married the love of her life, Ewald Fritz Schroeder in Copeland, Texas. Nora worked many years as a cashier for Winn’s and also worked in the cafeteria at Molly Barrington Elementary School. She and Ewald enjoyed going dancing and shooting pool. Nora had a green thumb and loved growing beautiful flowers. In addition, she was an avid collector of stuffed bears and coffee mugs.
