Norma Jean was the matriarch of a beautiful family. Her sense of humor and deep devotion to each and every one of them will never be forgotten. Her love for her family, her husband, her garden and her sense of style is what made her such an amazing woman. Everyone who loved her feels a great sense of loss, as she left us too soon.
Norma Jean was the beloved wife of Arthur M. Hoppe; loving Mother of Gary (Teresa) Hoppe, Debbie (Kurt) Sorby, Mark (Shari) Hoppe and Jenny (Greg) Jurek; outstanding grandmother to Kimberlie (Roy) Fickel, Gary Hoppe Jr., Kyle (Jill) Sorby, Kevin (Gina) Sorby, Eric (Sarah) Sorby, Karina (Clint) Morgan, Brian (Ashley) Hoppe, Nick Hoppe, Scott Jurek and Ashley Jurek; sweetest great-grandmother to Jace, Lila, Luke, Westley, Dominic, Michael, Will, Braxton, Brooke, Lincoln, Kal and Maeve; amazing aunt to Michelle Norkett, and aunt-in-law to many.
Norma is preceded in death by her beloved sister, Barbara (Bill) Norkett, their son, Billy and her parents, William and Alvera Rathke.
