Norma was a beautiful woman, definitely one of a kind and adored by many.  

She loved to play cards and fish.  John and Norma enjoyed many fishing trips together on the Ohio River.

She was all giggles, stories and snuggles; the perfect grandma.

She loved life and if you just met her you were made to feel like you had known her all of your life.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to a charity of the donor's choice.
