Read More	Cora Lucinda Hicks Nordby, 99, lifetime resident of Mansfield, WA, went peacefully to our Lord Saturday, October 20, 2012, on the Nordby Ranch, with family at her side. Cora was born on December 16, 1912, in Mansfield to Henry Hicks and Cynthia Evalina Love. Her siblings, preceding her in death, were Henry and Francis Hicks. Married in 1931, Cora enjoyed 64 years of a loving marriage with her husband, friend and respected rancher, Evan Leroy Nordby. Meeting our Lord in 1995, Evan now has his wife by his side. Just under two months to her 100th birthday, Cora's strength of body and character stand as a testament to her long and full life. She enjoyed working on the farm with Evan, helping to feed the men working in the wheat fields. On special occasions, family and friends would take a horse and buggy down the canyon to picnic near Lake Chelan. Cora's childhood home was near Lone Butte, west of Mansfield and she attended the one-room schoolhouse, also of the namesake Lone Butte, many days riding her horse to school. When driving past the butte, Cora often reflected upon lunch time breaks with her young friends, climbing the butte to enjoy the view. In school, Cora shined in needlework, and was known for her beautifully crocheted pieces. Cora graduated from Mansfield High School in 1930, as Valedictorian of her class. She went to Wenatchee after graduation for a short time and worked at various jobs. She married Evan Nordby on November 16, 1932, in Wenatchee and they returned to Mansfield to farm. They were married for over 63 years until his death in 1995. An active Mansfield community member, Cora Nordby was a longtime member of the Grange, Sunshine Club, 4H Leadership, Rebeccas, Eastern Star, Cowbelles, Garden Club and United Protestant Church. Cora prided herself as a Past Noble Grand member of the Rebeccas, exceeding 75 years of participation. She was also a Seventh Degree Grange member, having belonged to Grange for over 79 years. She was well known for dressing impeccably for her activities and dances, as well as providing delicious sugar cookies to gatherings. Cora was a true hostess and supporter of the Mansfield community. Cora found great pleasure in spending time with her family. She is survived by her son, Ronald Evan Nordby of Mansfield; her two grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Her grandchildren include Larry Nordby, along with his wife, Cora, who have Beau and Duke Nordby of Mansfield; and Kristal Hassler of Walla Walla and her children, Garrett and Dylan Greninger and Katelyn Hassler. Cora is also survived by her sister-in-law, Irene Nordby; daughter-in-law, Shirley Roberton; and numerous nieces and nephews, with whom she had special relationships. The family would like to give a special thank you to the caregivers who assisted Cora in her final days. Memorial donations may be made to Mansfield Ambulance and Dollars for Scholars of Mansfield. Services were already held.
