Nora Havlik Obituary

Nora Havlik

Passed away at age 77 on October 9, 2014. Nora was born in Co. Mayo, Ireland to John and Mary Hastings. Faithful wife to her husband of 51 years, Paul; loving mother to Gene (Lorna) and Diane (Kevin); and devoted grandmother to Ashleen, Liam, Madison and Eric.

A devout, Catholic, Nora was a long-time parishioner of Our Lady of Mercy Church. She worked at Bank of America but her most favorite role was mother and grandmother. After raising her children she cared for the elderly and helped with her grandchildren. She was kind, loving and selfless. Rest in Peace and you will be greatly missed.

Viewing will be at 10:15 am on Thursday, October 16 at Our Lady of Mercy Church, 1 Elmwood Drive, Daly City followed by a funeral mass at 11:00 am. Internment Golden Gate National Cemetery.

Diane and family, Your mother was a lovely lady. We spent many an afternoon in the schoolyard chatting away while waiting for the children. She certainly loved all her family and cherished her time with her grandchildren. Our prayers are with you. Joanne Driscoll and family
