Patricia Cuddy and Mike Daniels of Winchester last saw their mother, Nora Chaney, sometime in the early 1960s. They began their search around 2006 after their father died. They found their mom’s birth certificate, mar- riage and divorce papers but it took some help from a social worker to bring the family together. The Winchester Sun reports the social worker used their father’s death certificate to track down his stepdaughter in Ohio. That led to Cuddy and Daniels. Now the siblings are trying to find a way to get to Texas to meet their mom. 12-31 Page 3 Food 12/30/11 5:57 PM Page 1
