    Norma was a wonderful person and ex Mother in Law. But most of all a friend and ex neighbor . She always had a smile when we come over to visit and would always have something that she thought was funny to say. I’m sure she’s in a more comfortable place and happy to see her Mom . We will all miss you and will always think about you. Love Kerry your ex- Son inlaw

    Aunt Norma, I will always have fond memories of the times we all got together, played country gospel music on the piano and sang until we couldn’t sing any more. So many good memories of our family coming to KC to visit and stay at your house. Dad and Uncle Don singing “The Great Specked Bird”; What a treat that was :). I have no doubt that you have reunited with Grandma, Grandpa, Dad and so many others and enjoy seeing them again. You will truly be missed by so many, as you were a wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend to so many. RIP Aunt Norma, we all love you.
