Nora was born on August 21, 1939, in Eureka, SD, to Henry and Martha Diede. She received a degree from Interstate Business College and worked at multiple secretarial jobs throughout her 46-year career. She married the love of her life, Alfred Nelson, on March 4, 1989.
Nora was a talented quilter, but her passion was spending time with her grandchildren. Special getaways to Medora, Wisconsin Dells, Disney World, and Seattle left lifelong memories. Any time she would see a baby in public, she had to stop and kiss the child. Nora's Christian faith was grounded since childhood.
Nora is survived by her husband, Alfred; three children: Matthew (Laura) Nelson, Marc (Michelle) Haaland, and Colleen (John) Abramowski; seven grandchildren: Henry and Benjamin Nelson, Nathan and Nicholas Haaland, and Jared (Sara), Paul (Patricia), and Emily Abramowski; two great-grandchildren, Sofia and Sally Abramowski, and her twin brother, Norman (Lyla) Diede.
Nora was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Martha; brothers: Royal, Calvin, Arnold, Clarance, Lawrence, and Aaron, and sisters: Ella, Irene, Verna, and Ruth.
Funeral Service will be held Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at 11:00 AM, at Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home, Fargo, North Dakota.
Visitation one hour prior to the service.
Burial at Mayville Cemetery.
