A LIFE can be quiet but still extraordinary. Just look at Nora Tattersfield.

Nora, who died earlier this month aged 94, lived all her life in the same street off Fishergate. But what a life it was.

Nora began work at Rowntree’s making fruit gums, and was there when the factory started making munitions instead during the Second World War. She then moved to Terry’s, where she supervised the making of aeroplane propellers.

She and her husband Herbert had five children, and she leaves 10 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren.

That sounds like a life well and richly lived, to us.
