Norma cherished the 67 years of marriage that she had spent with the love of her life, her past husband Erich Brakensiek. In her younger years, Norma enjoyed playing the sport of basketball and acting in her drama club. Her more recent hobbies included activities such as quilting, embroidery, and bingo.
