Norma H. Branch

Norma moved to Ojai in 1931 and spent the rest of her life here. She was widely known in the Valley as a medical assistant to Drs. Lincoln Service, Dale King, and Ken Hartenstein. After retirement she volunteered at Ojai Valley Hospital as a pink lady.

Norma was a wonderful mother, unfailing with her love and generosity. She was also known for being a very, very positive person, with a happy disposition and ready smile. Her cheerfulness was infectious. Norma will be missed deeply by her family and by all those who loved her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert G. Branch. She is survived by her children Marc Branch (and wife Cyd), daughter Susan Bryant (and former son-in-law Gary), daughter Nancy Kruschke; grandchildren, Jennifer Seeder (and husband Dan), Kim Miller, Josh Branch, Ricci Conrad and Matthew Branch and great- grandchildren, Ali, Robert, Miranda and Ashleigh.

At Norma’s request, there will be no services. Her family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Ojai Humane Society, 402 Bryant Street, Ojai, CA, 93023-3312

(805) 646-6505.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Ted Mayr Funeral Home and Crematory, 3150 Loma Vista Rd., Ventura. Condolences may be left at www.TedMayrFuneralHome.com
