Nori J. Pribble

Nori Jean (Schoer) Pribble, age 51 of Brookston, Minnesota, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, October 17, 2024.

Nori Jean, the daughter of Jerome and Julaine (Schmitz) Schoer, was born on March 20, 1973, in Farmington, Minnesota. She grew up in West Saint Paul and attended Park High School in Cottage Grove. She married Ronald Pribble in 1990 and together they had three children.

She took great pride in her professional accomplishments in welding, machining, and semi-truck driving. A jack of all trades, Nori had the 'girls can do anything boys can do' attitude. She was known for her bubbly, outgoing personality and made sure everyone felt welcome. Nori was a free spirit and never let anything dim her shine.

Nori enjoyed many things in life including traveling. She was fortunate enough to visit all of the U.S. states except for Alaska. She also enjoyed gardening, food preservation, working on her home and spending time by the brook that ran next to her property.

She soaked in all the time spent with family and friends, thoroughly enjoying giving, helping and mentoring others. Nori enjoyed books, whether it be reading them, especially JRR Tolkien books, or listening to them, her favorite being Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. She had a strong faith and enjoyed her time with the church, Celebrate Recovery, and her work with Traumatic Brain Injury advocacy groups.

She was preceded in death by her son, Joshua; parents, Jerome and Julaine Schoer; father-in-law, Arnold Pribble; and sister-in-law, Anitta Pribble.
