Norma lived a full, healthy life as a wife, mother and homemaker. She was filled with love and service for family, friends, and church. She is remembered by family and friends as one who spent many years doing family history and name extraction. She spent countless hours sewing and creating handcrafted items for others.  She touched the lives of many and has, in her own way, changed the world through her compassion and devotion to her family. She took pride in the beauty of her home spending many hours renovating and decorating period homes and adding her own unique touch. Most of all, she will always be remembered as a mother who created a safe and loving home where her children and grandchildren could feel the warmth and tenderness of her spirit. Her kindness and gentleness will always be in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved her.
