Norma was incredibly smart and skipped a grade in school. She graduated from Collinsville High School. She worked at Sunoco where she met her husband, Vic. She worked as a secretary in the typing pool and worked her way up to executive secretary to the vice president. She was a Toastmistress for 20+ years. She enjoyed traveling with them to different speaking engagements, especially her trip to New Zealand. She was a very friendly and outgoing person who never met a stranger. She made friends everywhere she went because she had a loving heart for people. She always put others’ first. She loved spending time with family and being around children. She was a strong-willed person who could do anything she set her mind to. When she was younger she loved to play cards, bridge, and canasta and she had to watch Jeopardy every day.
