Nora passed away on Thursday, March 7, 2019 after suffering several
years of Lewy Body Dementia. Nora was born on Aug. 2, 1934 in Long
Beach California to Thomas and Elizabeth Hitt. As a child, Nora was
quite involved in sports with volleyball being her favorite.

Nora spent many years in the nursing field and dedicated her entire
adulthood caring for her children and making sure that she provided
the best possible life for them, even if it meant working two to three
jobs at a time. She sacrificed many of her own needs just to make sure
her children had all that they needed.

She is survived by her children; Patrick Clay, Sandra Hickox, Edward
Clay and Jeannie Dirk, her grandchildren; Justin Wilde, Josiah and
Ariana Clay, Cody and Jacob Dirk, Eddy Clay, and Pepe and Ivan Jorrin
and her great-grandchildren; Braiden and Hailey Wilde, Camelle and
Matthew Jorrin.

Nora is preceded in death by her husband Noble Wayne Blackwell, her
parents, and her son Tommy.

Nora was the anchor of the family and will be missed by all who knew
and loved her.

Services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday April 13, 2019 at the
Desert Lawn Memorial Gardens in Mohave Valley with a small reception
to follow at Needles Marina.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations made to the
Lewy Body Dementia Association at https://www.lbda.org/donate.
