This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Nori Moyoli, 38, born on June 16, 1975 and passed away on July 23, 2013. We will remember her forever.

Nori passed away with her family on July 23,  Nori fought her cancer with grace and humilty, courage and dignity. Nori was a devoted, kind, nurturing and loving mother, wife, sister and daughter.  She possessed a unique loving personality. Although taken from us too early, we thank her for all the years she gave us even through her pain and and suffering. She is our hero and inspiration.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We will be holding a family service this weekend in California.  Many of you have asked if you could send flowers or make a donation to the family.  In lieu of flowers, if you would like, we have set up a Memorial Fund to be used for an educational account for Mateo and Ilaria.

Contributions can be made to: Nori Lei Moyoli Memoral Fund, FifthThird Bank, 7580 Beechmont Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45255

Posted by Julia Ginocchio Luniewski on July 24, 2013: Last night Nori Warden Moyoli earned her wings after a two year battle with colon cancer. Her family & friends have remarked how she exuded humility, grace, strength, dignity, love & warmth until the very end. I wouldn't expect any less from this extraordinary woman. There are few people I have idolized, she was one of them. She was the type of young woman I wanted to be. Her frame was dainty, but her heart was huge. She was bright, generous, compassionate, & open minded. She came from Utah, but her life was a colorful tapestry woven with the experiences she embraced from many cultures. She had soul, and a fierce spirit. She was always up for adventure, and loved to dance! She was the fairest sister in Nigerian dance, but held her own place in the studio. Her beauty & smile drew everyone to her, but she never needed to be the center of attention. I only had one year to be in the same city with her, but the time shared has left such an impression on me. I don't remember much about high-school, but deep admiration has imprinted a stunning collage of Nori in my mind. The world would be a little less beautiful for our loss, if not for her two gorgeous children.

We are so sad to hear about Nori - we had opportunity to talk to Nori only occasionally in Room 5, but she was always so full of smiles.

Nori…so saddened to hear the news today. Nori and I met at SJSU, where we studied nutritional science. I remember talking with her for hours that first day—about food and travel. She had the best stories from all of her amazing adventures. She was so much fun to hang out with. Nori was truly a warm, kind, beautiful person. I will miss her. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

I met Nori and her family thru a cancer survivor dinner for families. I just saw a mom with a lot of love for her kids and husband, who was so positive. I thought about you often Nori, as mom's we do anything for our kid's and I know you fought to the end. Be the shining light and angel looking down on your beautiful kids, your love will never leave them. God bless you.

We came into Nori's life as she was beginning her fight with cancer. That Nori has been taken from us is a terrible tragedy. She was a loving, good, and strong woman. Her radiant smile was infectious, and she was able to persevere with grace during hard times. We know that she will watch over her family as an angel, and we pray that they will have love and healing during this time.

Dear Norei and Glen -I honestly don't think I've ever experienced a true 'heavy heart' but this morning ,rereading the beautiful messages to you and thinking of her, I realized my heart is physically heavy-sadness is acually heavy. May you be lifted through the spirit of life beyond us 'somewhere out there'

Nori was beautiful inside and out. Always smiling, always a cheerful word, the ability to make you feel at ease, these were just a few of her qualities. She was a blessing to her family and friends and the world is a sadder place without her. I wish peace to all who loved her.

Every day for the past six years since we lost our daughter, Nori
We wake up with the knowledge…Someone is Missing

We go through our day and in the back of our mind
We hear a whisper…Someone is Missing

We sit down to dinner with our family,
and in the back of our mind
We hear a whisper…Someone is Missing

We wake up and think…
there should be a birthday to celebrate today
and we hear clearly…Someone Is Missing

We wake up and think…
this is the day our whole world changed

We wake up and the holiday season is here

We try to get into the holiday spirit
and we hear a whisper…Someone is Missing

We gather with family to celebrate the holiday season
and we look around the room and inside our head
We hear screaming…Someone is Missing

Please understand we love spending time with family
but this voice that we hear squeezes our heart…
