NORA McMAHON
Nora M. McMahon , age 73, passed away on Tuesday, March 2, 2016, at Flambeau Hospital in Park Falls, with family at her side. Nora was born on July 2, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois, to Elaine (Meier) and Eugene McMahon Sr. Nora spent many years with her grandparents, Len A. and Nora Meier, in Phillips, and graduated from Phillips High School in 1960. Nora had a love of travel and new experiences and lived for various times in Chicago, New York, France, Mexico, California, Texas, and Tucson, Arizona. Nora returned to live in Phillips in 2011 to spend time with her dear aunt, Joy Ann Diefenbach.
Nora loved people and maintained lasting friendships with many people she met on her life’s journeys. She was an avid reader and had strong opinions she wasn’t shy about voicing. Nora loved to cook and bake, and to entertain friends and family. She also loved feeding and watching birds and other wildlife.
Nora was married to Stuart Umphrey for 11 years. She was preceded in death by her step-sister Joanne (Worden) Fourton. Nora is survived by her twin brother Eugene (Kathleen) McMahon of Algonquin, Illinois; sister, Elaine (Cassie) Tomaszweski of Hudson, Florida; brothers Frank (Joan) McMahon of Crestwood, Illinois, and James (Jackie) McMahon of Western Springs, Illinois; and step-brother Thomas Worden of Phillips. Also surviving are many cousins, nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.
Heindl Funeral Home is assisting the family. A gathering for family and friends to celebrate Nora’s life will take place later this Spring in Spirit.
