Description	:	Living past infancy, Noma was the 4th of four children. There was a brother, by the name of Harry Clark (1889-1906). He was seldom spoken of and there was something wrong with him that seemed to be an embarrassment to some members of the family. Whether it was genetic or birth defect, I do not know. The main body of the family then, were 3 sisters: Hazel Gertrude Clark Kelley (1885-1959). Cora Effie Clark Skonberg (1892-1995). And Noma Noma also had an older half-brother, usually referred to as "Brother" by the name of Walter Perry... Read More	Living past infancy, Noma was the 4th of four children. There was a brother, by the name of Harry Clark (1889-1906). He was seldom spoken of and there was something wrong with him that seemed to be an embarrassment to some members of the family. Whether it was genetic or birth defect, I do not know. The main body of the family then, were 3 sisters: Hazel Gertrude Clark Kelley (1885-1959). Cora Effie Clark Skonberg (1892-1995). And Noma Noma also had an older half-brother, usually referred to as "Brother" by the name of Walter Perry Clark (1878-1941). Their mothers were 1st cousins and when the 1st wife, Susannah died, Minos married Malie. In 1897, Noma's father disappeared. It was widely thought that he abandoned the family, but I believe in those times, it is more likely he was either killed or imprisoned. Therefore, the family was in need of income and all three girls worked before marrying. Noma worked at "Bell Local & Long Distance Telephone Company" as an operator. Noma and Theo were married May 23, 1917. They had 2 sons, Ted and 4 years later, Robert. Thinking the family was complete, their 3rd son Jim was a complete surprise when Ted was 17 and Bob was 13. Noma was a good housekeeper and good cook. She kept her boys in grand style. I believe they wanted for nothing. She was talented at knitting and crocheting and with her daughter-in-law Gay (Ted's 1st wife), owned a knit shop in the early 50's. Her husband Theo died in 1957 when Noma was 62 and She lived to be 96. To me, as a young woman, it looked like she simply passed time. Now, as an older woman, I see it differently. She had a lovely and simple routine. In the morning after breakfast, she did a little light housekeeping. Then it was time for her "shows", a few soap operas. Then at 4 o'clock, a bath, something left over from the days she would prepare for her husband to come home from work, dinner, a little more TV including Johnny Carson and off to bed. In 1973, she had 2 life threatening blood infections. She never fully recovered and lived in a nursing facility the rest of her life. Over the next years, she had so many serious problems, bone infections requiring a full body cast for months, resting heart attack, bleeding ulcer, ruptured glaucoma, and I can't remember the rest. But there were long periods that she had peace and comfort. I feel so inadequate to really give an honorable bio for my Grandmother. She was truly my dear friend and we had some wonderful times together. But have I reflected WHO she was? I doubt it by a long shot. As I sit at her kitchen table with her hand crocheted place mats, I like to think I'm honoring her. I guess, in a way, I do, just by remembering her.
