Nora quite often described her years at Delco Moraine as "some of the best years of her life". After retirement she enjoyed looking after her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, spending time with her brothers and sisters and their families, as well as meticulously working to make her home and yard look beautiful. Nora really took great pride in her family, her job, and the things that she worked so hard to enjoy with her friends and family.

She was preceded in death by her parents; former husband James Lancaster; sister Jackie Barton; brother Charles Crider; brother-in-laws Bruce Hayes and Charles Barton; and sister-in- law Janice Crider. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend and will be missed by all who knew her.
