Born November 30, 1920, in Kentucky, she was the daughter of the late Henry Mays (Deceased) & Martha Porter-Mays (Deceased).
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her first husband, George Ferrell (1912-1971) whom she married on October 26, 1942 in Davin, Logan County, WV (per WV Marriage License Register, Logan County, WV, 1942, Page 155, Application Date: October 13, 1942); her second husband, Robert Omar Brooks (1909-1975); two brothers: Marvin Mays (Deceased) and Norris Mays (Deceased) and one step-great-grandson, Chad Gales (Deceased).
Nora was a loving wife, wonderful mother, grandmother, great and great-great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was a retired cook for the Wyoming County Board of Education and a lifelong active member of the Coal Mountain Freewill Baptist Church. She loved going for walks and loved to clean, especially the church where she was usually the last one to leave.
