Nora Herrling Obituary
Appleton - When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. - Cherokee Legend
Nora A Herrling (née Remmel) lived her life in just such a way. Nora's inherent love for people and curiosity about them is seen through the vast array of people whose lives were touched by her. Her legacy is one of compassion, love, joy and concern for others above herself. We are saddened by her passing-our grief is deep yet our hope is strong.
She was a tireless advocate for people who needed a helping hand and because of her, many lives were impacted in positive ways. Nora loved her children and extended family, and her concern to the end was for those left behind.
Nora was preceded in death by her husband Dennis, her father Milton, sister Mary, and mother Grace.
The funeral liturgy for Nora will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, June 16, 2018 at ST. BERNARD CATHOLIC CHURCH, 1617 W. Pine Street in Appleton, with Fr. Dennis Ryan officiating. Interment will follow in Riverside Cemetery at a later date. Family and friends are invited to gather at the church on Saturday morning from 9:00 AM until the hour of the celebration mass.
The family would like to thank the staff at Ascension St Elizabeth hospital for their excellent care, the staff of Ascension Hospice, HomeInstead, and AtHome Senior Care for their care of Nora at home.
Special thanks to gifted and loving friends. Kris for her help in so many areas, Dr. Sodhi and his staff as well as Dr. Cherian for their compassion and assistance in providing comfort, expertise and honesty during her illness.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorials be sent to either The Community Clothes Closet or St. Vincent DePaul in Appleton in Nora's name.

To the Herrling family: I am deeply sorry for your loss. My heart is so saddened. It was just a week ago I was telling others what an amazing person Nora is and then I picked up my pile of newspapers last night to catch up and saw God gained another angel. My life was blessed by having known Nora and worked with her for 10 years. May you cherish the wonderful memories of your mother/grandmother.

Had the pleasure of meeting this lady at the PAC a few years ago. Had seen her again at Accension doctors offices and we chatted. Always pleasant and thanked me for talking with her while waiting.

The world is a little less bright today. A beautiful woman is gone. I have known Nora since my parents, Jerry and Glagie Long, were friends with Dennis and Nora back in Jaycees days. Over the years our paths crossed often. It was always a joy to run into her. Darling! She would say, in that deep voice, How are you? And we would catch up again. I will so miss her brilliant smile.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I will miss Nora's hugs, her friendly hello , our little chats, seeing her cart on the second floor. She is a wonderful dear lady. Heaven has gained a very special angel...
