Norma was a gifted seamstress and cook. She enjoyed tending to her garden, and bowling with her friends in a league. Norma and Bob enjoyed camping every year at the Iowa State Fair and traveled to Texas for several weeks in the winter. Norma was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend who will be deeply missed by her family and the community.
