Nora Plank, 90, lifetime baker and cook, died Thursday (Oct.
13, 2005) in Greenwood, Ark. She was born Aug. 20, 1915, to John and Benah
Troyer near Millersburg, Ohio. They preceded her in death. She married Levi J.
Plank Dec. 2, 1937. They were married for 56 years before he preceded her in
death at the age of 83. She was the youngest of 10 children, and she was told
she was "very spoiled." As an Amish girl, she would walk to the
one-room country school with her brothers and sisters not far from their home.
Nora loved to bake and cook. She worked many years at Meadowlark Homestead and
the Corner Lunch in Newton. Baking was just in her blood, and she was the best
there was.
Nora was a member of Harvest Time Tabernacle and served as a
part of the C.A.R.E. Sight Group encouraging others. She loved her church and
enjoyed the fellowship with members.
