Eyth

Nora A. Eyth, 95, of Chicora, passed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, Aug. 17, 2026, at Quality Life Services — Chicora.

Nora, the former Nora Adams, was born March 31, 1931, in Kaylor, daughter of the late Ralph and Josephine Adams. She was preceded in death by 13 siblings.

She was fondly known as “Grandma Nonie” by family and friends.

Nora was a woman of great faith and prayer. She loved and served the community and the Lord Jesus for over 60 years. She was the chaplain at the Arbors apartments for many years. When she prayed … heaven moved.

Some of her favorite Scriptures were:

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10

“Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3

“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isaiah 40:8

Over her long life, she was employed at the Karns City School District, Chicora Medical Center, Winn-Dixie Bakery and Sam’s Club in Waco, Texas, and The Center for Community Resources in Butler. She also served as a foster grandmother at the YMCA in Butler and as a greeter at the Butler city building, and she worked until she was 84 years old.

Nora was an excellent cook and enjoyed collecting recipes. Some of her specialties were lasagna and garlic bread, homemade rolls, cream puffs, Boston cream pie and lemon meringue pie.

She loved playing the guitar and singing, enjoyed crocheting and made afghans and doilies for her children, grandchildren other relatives and friends. She enjoyed putting 1,000-piece puzzles together and was an excellent domino player.

Nora had a humble servant’s heart and would help anyone in need. She cooked and fed many people throughout her years. She would give away her last dollar.

She is survived by four children whom she dearly loved and prayed for, Shirley Champion and her husband, Gordon, of Louisville, Ky., Joseph Eyth and his wife, Sherrie, of Waco, Texas, Mary Celestin, of Butler, and John Eyth and his wife, Antionette, of Chicora.

She is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, whom she dearly loved and prayed for.
