As well as many relatives and friends around the world. A celebration of life will be held on January 7th, 2012, at 1:00pm at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road.

So very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I worked with Norah during her years in Customs at Vancouver Airport - when we women were a rarity! She was down to earth, funny, kind and someone who always left a positive mark on those around her. May many good memories of her comfort you.
