In Memoriam: Lenora ‘Nori’ Opal Riggs Kaser (Nov. 29, 1946 – Dec. 1, 2022)

Lenora Kaser

Born Lenora Riggs, “Nori” Kaser was a lifelong resident of Silverton, Oregon. She passed away on Dec. 1, 2022. 

Nori was an avid outdoorsman; hunting in the Abiqua Basin, fishing at Diamond Lake, and clamming and crabbing along the Oregon coast.

Her hobbies included sewing, cooking and baking. Her family always looked forward to the first snow of the year because it meant she would make her famous cinnamon rolls.

She would no doubt tell you that the greatest joy and love was for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But in truth, Nori was hopelessly, beautifully, and madly in love with her husband of more than 40 years, Steve. She completely dedicated herself to her family and her faith, and left a legacy of memories and was an example of a life of devotion to be honored and cherished. She is and will be dearly missed.

Nori is survived by her husband, Steve; her three daughters, Amy, Marcey and Tifni; two stepchildren, Mitch and Kara; 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. A private memorial has been arranged.
