Norma was a hard worker and was employed more than 25 years as Director of Food Service at Lutheran Homes, now Lutheran Living. She was very well liked and had many special friends from work including, Lottie TeStrake, Francis and Jackie Jones

Norma bowled in her early years. She loved to play bingo and do crafts. She especially enjoyed painting her own designs on bird houses and selling them at craft shows. She enjoyed traveling in Colorado, Branson, MO, Lake of the Ozarks, Las Vegas, and Minot, N.D. She was well known for her baking and candy making. She would like to be remembered for her cinnamon rolls, divinity, fudge, peanut brittle, and her raisin filled cookies. Attending church was always important to her. Some of her most special memories were celebrating with family.
