Read MoreWe spent precious hours chatting and laughing over tea that had long gone cold in its cup. Once, Nora surprised me with a luncheon of ham. broccoli, and the best mashed potatoes in the world. A cooking lesson ensued, and I now know the lump free mashed potato secret.
Nora and the joy she radiated will be sadly missed.

Nora Jordan often said there is not enough music and fun in life, so she was determined to fix that, one song and joke at a time.
She emigrated to Cleveland in 1957 and in over 60 years in the United States, she never lost her Irish brogue or fondness for singing Irish songs. Her lovely voice attracted crowds when she would suddenly decide to liven things up by singing The Black Velvet Band, "Galway Bay" or some other Irish tune. Once on a packed ferry off Catalina Island in California...

Nora was a great and gracious lady; proper and proud yet humble, merry and wise. We hung on her every word (as best we could, through her rapid-fire brogue).

This life was grand for her and she made it so for others.
Nora's company, even just the thought of her always uplifted. If God has favorites, Nora is certainly...

Jordan Family, I have wonderful memories of your mom. She was always so much fun to be around. I loved the stories she told of when my mom(Mary Fallon Simon)and her first arrived here. The jobs they had, the dances they went to,etc. She always had a smile on her face and lit up any room she was in. She was a great story teller and historian. I will miss her. Your family is in my prayers during this difficult time. God Bless you all.
