Mrs. Nora Lee Preston went home to be with The Lord on Friday, February 18th.  She celebrates her reunion in heaven with her husband, Donald Preston, and her son Charles Richard “Dick” Preston.  Lee’s unwavering faith in the Lord and love of cooking allowed her to bless homemade meals to the elderly for many years. Lee was gifted with a servant’s heart and legendary recipes, which, if you were fast enough, could be found at every Church dinner and family potluck, though good luck finding any leftovers.  Lee is survived by her son, David Preston, daughters Oksana Preston and Dena Preston; two brothers and their wives, Paul and Diane Kidd, Walter and Peggy Kidd, along with nieces Sandy Salyer, Linda Salyer, Beverly Salyer; Lois Ann Falconi, Doris Sockman, and eight grandchildren including Joshua Preston, Elizabeth McNeese, Aimee Frizzell, Brenda Preston, Jeremy Preston, Jesse Preston, Arison Preston, Berenice Garcia and 12 great-grandchildren, Abigael McPherson, Chasity Frizzell, Ethan McPherson, Isaiah Frizzell, Evan McPherson, Elijah Frizzell, Sam Preston, Ben Preston, Miles Preston, Noah Preston, Jonah Preston, and Major Preston.

Friends may call Thursday, February 24 from 5-8pm at JERRY SPEARS FUNERAL HOME, 2693 West Broad St. where funeral service will be held Friday at 1pm, interment Alton Cemetery.
