Our condolences are with all of Noralyn’s family today as you celebrate her life. We pray you are comforted and guided by the wonderful love and memories you’ve made. We always looked up to the beautiful Caldwell girls. ❤️ Diann Vaughn, Annie Hopkins, Deb Toli, and Kay Lane.
My family will always be indebted to Noralynn at the Children's Center. We were so fortunate to learn of this day care, and our children were set up for a lifetime of success. She was such a smart, classy, entrepreneurial lady. We are all so sorry to learn that she left us too soon. She will always have a place in our hearts.

Dear Carey and Family,
Noralyn will never be forgotten, as she was one of the bravest and one of the most caring people I have ever known. My Mother, the recipient of her endless kindnesses and loyal friendship, always called her "Noralean". It always made us laugh, but our hearts are filled with sadness now. In spite of all Noralyn's health challenges, she lived for the day and what good she could make of it. Always thinking of others, she was the ultimate hostess, cook, natural teacher and friend. I will be making fried okra, collards and ham and clam chowder," the Noralyn way" for the rest of my days, thanks to her patient instruction. I know there must be many children who got the right educational start thanks to Noralyn. All of us who shared part of her life are the better for it. Our hearts go out to those of you lucky enough to be part of her family. We are so sorry for your loss. Love, Sue and Bob Davis
We’re so sorry to hear of Noralyns passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

We had just moved to Gainesville and found the Learning Center by the Farm Bureau. Noralyn took such good care of our boys and taught us many things. When we moved to the other side of town and changed day cares, I was writing a recommendation letter and said to my husband, why did we leave? We returned the boys as soon as there was an opening. My son still remembers the blizzards on Friday’s.
I think of her every time I make beanie weinies. RIP Noraly, you are forever in our hearts.
