Nora Elizabeth Strichertz
November 28, 1938 - June 29, 2013
Obituary
Nora was born on November 28, 1938 in Browning, MT. to Clarence and Edna Hyde. Nora had 9 other siblings, 2 of which died in infancy. When Nora was 13, she met the boy who would be her husband, Harley Strichertz. Nora and Harley were inseparable for the next 56 years. In that time, they had four children, Bil (Betty), Dale (Robin), Debbie (Lily) and Gerri (Roy Cinnamon); eight grandchildren, Jeremy, Shay, Laurie, Cole, James, Cori, Jeremy E and Brandee and three great-grandchildren. Along with the blessings of children, there were the heartaches of loss. Nora lost her 3 sisters, Faye, Charlotte and Patty and both her parents. Nora and Harley spent most of their married life in Kent, WA raising their children. Nora was always at some sporting event for one child or another, sewing square dance uniforms, or maybe getting ready for a big holiday with the family. That meant everyone. The whole tribe! When the kids were grown with families of their own, Harley and Nora moved to Enumclaw, WA where they lived out their lives as they always had, loving each other to the fullest, loving the family and friends to no end. Nora went to meet the Lord and be with her beloved husband, Harley again on June 29, 2013. A celebration of her life will be held on Tuesday, 07/09 at BONNEY-WATSON Washington Memorial, 16445 International Blvd., SeaTac, WA.
Nora was also the loving grandmother of James, Cori & Jeremy E. (This is currently pending correction by the web admin as they only listed the names of 5 of the 8 grandchildren in error).
There are no words for how much you’ll be missed by all of us. Grandparents are one of a kind in the fact that they’re so understanding, accepting, forgiving & love unconditionally–thats you in a nutshell. To you (and our entire family) everyone was family–and I know that meant the world to Jason (and me) through all the years.
There are so many things I will never forget, such as our ocean vacations and the “ocean hair”, Sunday dinners & salad shrimp when I was younger, the few times you kept me at the casino ALL night (haha) and so much more.
Although we’d all prefer you to be with us longer, I find some peace in knowing that you are free of illness and are with grandpa again. Love you always..
I will miss and love you always you, harley and the strichertz family were always people i could look to and have as role models and as family iam so gracious and thankful to of had you in my life to help shape and make me who iam

My sweet friend Nora I will miss you and the way you were so easy to talk to and your way of excepting everyone for who they were never judging people. This world was a better place because of you! Now you are with your love Harley. Love your friend Marcy
God speed and blessings on you and all of your family. You will be missed dearly by all those who loved you.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Harley and Nora were a very wonderful couple. I will miss her.
My thoughts and prayers are with Nora’s family, as I feel (and have seen) they are a very close family. I will cherish all the memories I have collected over the years of all the family gatherings. I was so glad I could attend the beautiful funeral that Nora’s children created for her. It gives me peace knowing Aunt Nora and Uncle Harley are together again.
Yours in peace and love, Jan
