NORA URO Obituary

Nora Uro It is with great sorrow that we say goodbye to our beloved Nora. She passed unexpectedly at St. Joseph's Hospital due to medical complications on July 5, 2009. She leaves behind a wonderful husband, Hank, and two beautiful daughters, Noelle and Angela. Nora was born in San Diego, California on Nov. 13, 1951, to Gloria and George Golightly. Nora has a sister named Susan Hoye and also has a nephew Jeremy Hoye and niece Stacey Hoye. The family moved to Federal Way, Washington where she graduated from Federal Way High School in 1969. Directly from there, she attended and graduated from Renton Vocational Technical College with a degree in accounting. She worked in the corporate office of Pay-N-Save in Seattle for a short period before marrying in 1971. Shortly thereafter, she had children and dedicated her life to her two daughters and her husband, which was her greatest joy in life. Nora loved people and always had a friendly smile to whoever she met. To her, a stranger was just a friend that she had not talked to or met. One of her favorite past times was to travel with her family to Disneyland and Disney World or cruise the seven seas and bonding with family. She is known by others to be a woman who wore wacky and funny hats or would extend a helping hand by asking, "How can I help you?" As her husband puts it, "Mom was like a fine diamond with her (stunning) personality and the way she thought of herself and others in a positive way (illuminated brightly)." A private wake was held at the Sizzler Restaurant.

Dear Hank, Noelle and Angela,

I'm still in shock over Nora's passing and think about her everyday. Someone said "anyone who met her was lucky to know her" and I concurr. Right from my childhood memories of camping to visiting Disneyland with her for my first time, she was a doll. She gave up her bed, gave up her cherished momentos to make me feel loved. I remember our first sort of karaoke one evening at Grandma's house. She sang "Our last Kiss", and it was beautiful. I miss her. I am so sorry she is gone and I know you must be also. Time may have moved us apart, but she will always be my cousin.
Love to you all,
come see us if you will,
Cousin Lou

Dear Sue, Warren, George and family,
We are so sad to hear of the sudden loss of Nora. We have been close friends to Sue and Warren for many years and George and Gloria too. We always heard about Nora, Hank and the girls over the years since we kept in touch with family. We know you will always have wonderful memories of dear Nora and she will always be in your heart!
Love, Russell and Janie Leach (Fairfield, Ca. and now Port Orchard, WA.)

Dear Uncle Henry and girls,

Mom called me the other night and told me the sad news of Aunt Nora's passing.
I will always remember her and brightly colored MooMoo's and the fact she couldn't cook (LOL)only for family gatherings. She was a good person and anybody was lucky to know and meet her.

Love you always ,
Your neice Shannon and family

Dear Sue, George, Warren and family...I'm so sorry about Nora; I never had the privilege of meeting her, but I know that just by virtue of being Sue's sister, she was a kind, helpful and wonderful person. May God bless you all and all of Nora's family.

I always enjoyed seeing Nora as a staple at Rainiers games. I wish all of her family the best.

To the Uro family,
We are so sorry to hear of Nora's death. Had great chats at the Rainiers games over the last few years.
She was such a fighter. She loved her travels esp. to see Mickey and friends and her her shopping on QVC + for her trinkets. Family though was very important to her. Miss her zooming by us on her scooter.

I am sorry for your loss Noelle. I only met your mother a few times but I certainly admired the quality of children she raised. I enjoyed having you in class(at Ferrucci) and know that your mom was very proud of your accomplishments and your drive to succeed.
