She was my Sunday school teacher, no nonsense but warm at the same time. I learned so much from her, and she was super organized especially with the bunch of us.
At my mother's funeral she and Mrs. Diamos were there. They were both so incredibly kind to me. I didn't realize how lost and bereft I truly was until these two women surrounded and comforted me. They made all the difference in my haze of grief. No one was as kind and comforting. Driving home I said to my husband they were angels to show up that day.

I meet Nora when I was 24 years old and she showed up at my front door with a casserole because she was my new next door neighbor. I have been so taken by her warmth and friendship for these last 45 years. I will miss her beyond words!

Aunt Nora was my Uncle Jim’s wife. You could not find more loving family oriented people. My earliest memory of Aunt Nora was when Demi and I (probably 4 and 5) were to be taking a nap upstairs in my house on Oakland Ave. in Rockford. We were running around and getting into mischief and she came up and made us get back in bed. She was a strong but a very loving and caring woman. My Mother adored her and so enjoyed the annual reunions they would host in Tucson for the siblings and spouses of Uncle Jim’s ONLY! No children allowed! 🤪 This was to be their special time together! I am not sure how many years they hosted these but I know for sure it was over 50 years as I remember Mom going when my little brother Pete was about 4. All of our families left Rockford but remained very close. I will dearly miss my telephone conversations with her. 🥲 She was a spit fire and sharp witted until the end. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her. Rest in Peace dear Aunt Nora.❤️❤️❤️🥰😘😘😘

Mrs. Nora Retsinas was a force of nature... smart, kind, action oriented! I met her at 10 years old when my family first moved to Tucson and she became my Sunday School teacher at St. Demetrios Church. Over the years, we became family. My mother, Olga Gribizis was a best friend and together with Angie Daley and Archie Diamos, Nora was one of the 4 self-proclaimed Musketeers. These women led numerous fundraising and friend raising activities at church and were BEST friends. Nora gave a eulogy at my mom's wake that was loving and heartwarming. I am so happy to have known this wonderful woman. I am sure that she has been welcomed by the other Musketeers in heaven and they are already planning a Heavenly Bazaar! May her memory be eternal and a blessing to all who knew her.
