Many of the staff and residents of Raleigh Center were like family in the last part of her life. Nora Jane graduated from Stoco High School where she was named Miss Stoco. She was a dedicated wife and mother. She was an active member of the Open Door Church where she served in a number of positions including playing the piano for the choir until her health would not allow. Nothing gave her more joy than spending time with her precious family. She enjoyed playing the piano and singing for the Lord. She also enjoyed reading her bible in the morning at her dining room table. Because of the two strokes she suffered and a brain tumor she was unable to use a lot of words but she spoke volumes with just a few. “Patty, Randy, Donnie� “My Goodness� “Going On?� and “My My My� are but a few she used. One prayer that she prayed many times was “Go Home� as she pointed toward heaven; the Lord answered that prayer when he took her home to be with Him and all the loved ones who went before. In the emergency room the Lord spoke two words to a minister who came to comfort. “Their Waiting�. When she stepped over the wait was over and she was able to “Go Home�.
