Norma’s faith and love of God was a testimony to all who knew her. She loved to sing and her beautiful voice was a blessing to everyone.

Her most fervent prayer was to see all family and friends in heaven one day. She left us with these words of comfort and assurance from one of her favorite songs:

Death shall not destroy my comfort,

Christ will guide me through the gloom;

Down He’ll send the angel convoy,

To convey my spirit home.

Soon with angels I’ll be marching

With bright glory on my brow;

Who will share my precious portion,

Who will love my Savior now?

She will be greatly missed.

Private services are being held.
