Nora Lee "woke up in Heaven" Nov. 11, 2012. She was born in Tuckerman, AR, to William & Louise Hammond, Nov. 21, 1917. She graduated from high school, met and married W.A. "Al" Armstrong in 1936. They had two daughters, Wilma Lee and Gayle. The family moved to OKC in 1942. Nora Lee loved people and was loved by many at Greystone Presbyterian Church, Chapter BF, PEO, and Weight Watchers, where she was a lecturer. She had a unique sense of humor, loved OU football, and Thunder basketball, but must of all, she loved her Lord, her family and friends.
Three years after losing Al in 1981, she married Stephen Ferega, who died in 2010. She moved to the Wellington where she made many new friends and was first runner-up for the Mrs. Wellington pageant.
Nora Lee was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Oneal and Maude Imogene; brother, Bill; and son-in-law, Don Cabaniss. She is survived by daughters, Wilma Cabaniss and Gayler Laster & husband Tony; four grandchildren: Dr. Scot Laster, Jana Sarker, Mark Cabaniss, and Lisa Laster; eight great-grandchildren; one great great-grandson; and five step children and their families.

Nora Lee was my Weight Watchers instructor and dear friend for many years. I just found out last week that we had lost her because I have been recovering fron surgery. Heaven now has one of the sweetest angels ever. I will miss visiting her at the assisted living center where she lived. Rest in peace Nora Lee. I loved you very much!

Nora Lee was a special friend to me--we worked together at Weight Watchers classes at Mercy Hospital and Our Lords Lutheran Church. Will always remember her as a spunky, fun loving, and always a joke teller, she could always captivate her audience. She was a beloved friend by all who knew her. She'll certainly be missed by all.

One of the dearest ladies and friends I have had the privilege to know. She was
full of love and laughter and that shows in her two beautiful daughters. There is
no doubt she will have a good time in her new home. Sondra

I was blessed just to know Nora Lee because she blessed everyone she came in contact with. She was always kind and loving to all. She was a great spouse to my Father Steve and an inspiration to our family. Nora Lee and her family are in our prayers. May her reward in Heaven be great.

Hi Nora Lee, you always brought such joy to all the ladies at our COS meetings every other Friday night. The room got silent when you spoke, we didn't want to miss one single word. You had such insight to the Lord and his blessings. I feel so privileged to have gotten to know you better this past year and you made me feel like I was one of your daughters. I thank God for letting us know you. You will forever be in my heart <3

I was so blessed to be her other daughter and our love and friendship goes back a good many years as Nora Lee and Al served with me in my early years as the Director of Christian Education at Greystone Presbyterian Church and their daughters Gayle and Wilma were one of our wonderful youth. This family was the highlight and an inspiration and love of my life. They will always have a special place in my heart. I know the Lord is enjoying all the Love, all her wonderful stories and especially knowing she was one of his Saints. I will miss our special visits on the phone and going to Church on Sundays. We have truly lost a great lady and a special Mother in my
life. Love, Marilyn

Nora Lee was simply a very special person. In addition to being a great mother to Wilma and Gayle and their husbands Don and Tony and a role model of a grandmother to her grand and great-grandchildren, Nora Lee also was "mother and friend" to so many at Weight Watchers over the years and it was one of those Weight Watchers connections that brought Nora Lee into my life when she and my dad were married in 1983. Somehow with already soooo many children in her life she found some time to be a mother to me also. She lived what she always used to say to me..."Share my love with your girls...and keep a little for yourself!" Nora Lee always had more than enough love in her tank to share with so many...all she asked was that those she shared her love with, to take that love and spread it around. She will certainly be missed by many, but remembered by so many more by what she left behind...a legacy of love and sharing of love.
