Over the years she was involved in the Alberta Fish and Game Association, Eastern Star, Royal Purple, the Red Hat Society, TOPS and volunteered as a cook at the Edson Seniors Association.

At Nora’s request, there will be no public service. The family will hold a private celebration of her life at a later date.
