Norma had lived in the State of Washington and California prior to moving to Orem, Utah in 1993. Norma and Jim enjoyed many years touring the country in their motor homes with various clubs, and she especially loved driving her “little red corvette” around their home in Palm Springs, California.  In later years she would continue the tradition, traveling with her family to many of her favorite spots. But none better than the weekends spent camping at the Provo River, or with family enjoying backyard barbeques. In her final years she was able to travel to Hawaii where she fell in love with the blue skies, warm sandy beaches and azure sea. So when the sky turns to that special “sapphire blue” we will know that Nonie and Papa are smiling and watching over us.

The family would like to extend special thanks and love to the staff at The Wentworth, Sandy Regional Health Care and Love’s Hospice for their wonderful care and assistance to our family.

Norma was a fun loving person and everyone liked her.  She will be missed by all.
