Norma enjoyed family gatherings, especially at the Waterford Family Farm. She was an excellent cook and loved to hunt and eat mushrooms. Norma was of the Christian faith. Norma’s trust in the Lord is what inspired her through these past few years of difficulty. She will be truly missed by family and friends. Remember this – A Mother is she who can take the place of others but whose place no one else can take.
