Nora Lee Guillory Soileau was born on November 10, 1930 in Johnson Cove to Louis and Omerine Fontenot Guillory.  Nora was a very strong-willed lady while being very kind and loving.  She was a hard worker and worked for Vallie Canning Company for 32 years along with taking care of her family.  Nora also took on child care in her later years; she holds a special place in the hearts of the children she took care of during their impressionable years.  She was strong in her faith and was a member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Ville Plate.  Nora lived a beautiful life during her 90 years and will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by her family and friends.
