After retirement, Norma volunteered for Meals on Wheels and was a greeter at Emmanuel Lutheran Church where she was a member.
Prior to her decline, she enjoyed participating in the Silver Sneakers at the YMCA and eating breakfast at Dee’s Restaurant with her friends. She also loved wintering in Florida and trips to Myrtle Beach.
Most importantly, Norma loved her family and hosting family birthdays and get-togethers. She also enjoyed the great-grandsons’ sporting events.
