Nora Dever (née Cole)
August 17, 1939 - June 5, 2026
It is with unending love that we announce the unexpected loss of our dear mother, Nora Dever (née Cole) on Friday, June 5, 2026 in her 87th year. Predeceased by her husbands, Donald Cole (died 1986), and Herman Dever (died 2016). Nora is survived by her daughters Cathy Norsworthy (Mark) and Colleen Henning (Mike), grandchildren Robert Norsworthy (Leanne), Amanda Norsworthy, Scott Henning and Craig Henning (Alexis), and great-grandchildren James and Ava Norsworthy.
Nora was born in Foxroost, Newfoundland on August 17, 1939, and the youngest of six children (all pre-deceased). She raised her family in Garson/Sudbury and worked as a cashier at A&P Groceries, where she met her second husband. Once retired, they were able to enjoy life cruising, travelling on bus trips, and dancing at the Caruso Club in Sudbury. After the death of her second husband, Nora moved to London to be closer to her daughters. She lived there for nine years.
She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her many friends and family.
There will be no service in London. Nora will be interred at the Garson Cemetery with her first husband, Donald Cole, at a later date at a private ceremony with the family.
As an expression of sympathy, donations in memory of Nora can be made to your preferred charity.

I would like to express my sympathy to the family over the loss of Nora. We have kept in touch by phone over the years and I truly enjoyed our talks. Rest in peace Nora.
I knew Nora in Sudbury. We attended the same church and would go for coffee every Sunday after the service. I moved to London to be closer to family and a few years later Nora did the same thing. We ended up living in the same apartment building and we would go to Cherryhill Mall together to shop and have coffee. After I moved to a retirement home Nora made sure to keep in touch and she would come to visit on a regular basis. She was a very thoughtful and dear friend and I will miss her. My condolences to her family.
Dear Cathy & Colleen and families, Brian and I are so sorry for the loss of your dear Mom and Nana. Our hearts are filled with sadness. Nora was such a lovely lady, always so positive and welcoming. We loved our short visits with her. I am thankful that she relocated to be closer to you and was able to enjoy her life fully until the end. May warm memories fill your hearts and help you through difficult days. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Shari & Brian
Nora was the best sister in law. Even though she moved to London to be near her girls we stayed in touch and loved to hear of all the fun things they had her doing. Rest in peace Nora. We will carry you in our hearts on our next cruise. Norm Bev and family
