Nora grew up as a farmer alongside her seven brothers and sister at their home located off the Pedernales River. She attended Wrede Country School until she moved into town in with her parents and transferred to St. Mary's School where she graduated from high school and met her husband. Nora and Lawrence were married on October 10, 1949. They opened Nebgen Supermarket together and Nora helped with the book keeping, ordering, and checking. After selling the supermarket years later they opened Fredericksburg Reality in the 1960's. Nora got her brokers license so she could help run the business.
Both Nora and Lawrence shared a passion for ranching and she continued even after his passing. She was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church until 1986 when they moved to Stonewall and then became a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church where she also participated with the St. Rose's Society.
Nora loved the simple things in life like spending time with her family, watching her cattle from her front window, and cooking and feeding her family. She was quick witted and had a sense of humor that could put a smile on anyone's face that she came across. She loved to tell stories of being the youngest and smallest of all her siblings. She will be greatly missed by her friends and family.
Visitation will be held Friday, October 12, 2012 from 4-7 pm at Schaetters Funeral Home in Fredericksburg with a rosary at 6 pm conducted by Deacon Ed Ferguson.
