She married Jesse Howard Cantrell in Travis County, Texas. Nora always fondly recalled both the Cantrell and Galloway families whose love and caring changed her world and made her life worth living. Nora was a voracious reader, a wonderful cook and enjoyed working in her garden, but her great love was serving others as a Registered Nurse.

Cantrell; father: Robert Miller Jr. and grandson: Jesse Dean Collins, Nora's legacy lives on through her mother: Bertha Jane Miller; daughter: Sandra (Tom) Collins; son: Richard Brooks; grandchildren: Stephen Matthew (Letecia) Collins, Tyler Dean Collins and Travis Standlea Collins; ten brothers and sisters, numerous nephews and nieces and her two beloved felines: Spanky and Cali. At Nora's request cremation has taken place and no services will be held.
