Nora, known as “Nanny” to her six grandchildren, was born and raised on a farm in Toomore, Hill Street, Carrick-on-Shannon in County Roscommon, Ireland. One of nine children, she left Ireland at 18, moving to London, England after World War II to seek employment.

Nora immigrated to the United States across the Atlantic via the SS Flandre in 1953, joining her Uncle Jim and three older brothers John, Mike, and Brian in Bayonne, NJ. There she would meet the love of her life, Martin Raymond, her husband of 66 years, at the Roscommon Ball.
