I was sorry to learn of Norma’s passing—she was a very nice and kind lady. I have fond childhood memories of her as I spent a lot of time at the Hoffman household. Jean and I were good friends in grade school but lost contact through the years. Norma was well known in the community when she spent her nursing career at St. Mary’s Hospital. Extending my condolences to her family—RIP Norma Jean. .
Cathy sorry for your loss.
Lynn your mom was an awesome person,the absolute best..
I was only around Norma a few times but I could tell how special she was right away. Deepest sympathy to the family.
Norma will truly be missed. She was a delight to work with at St. Mary’s surgery. I learned so much from her. Her family and friends were so important to her. So sorry for your loss.
I loved her like family. My most favorite nurse in my career. So kind and a smile always Norma love you.
So Sorry Diane and Family for your loss. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. She was a dear friend to my parents Alex and Barb Kemner always reached for my mom’s hand and when coming back from communion at St Francis Church and she would always give me myself a smile also. Besides the laughter and conversations we had when she was also at the Diane house in her hair salon. A true treasure to all who knew her.
So sorry to hear of Norm passing . Many great memories growing up on Elm eating popcorn and koolade on the back porch and great times on Ward Island !
Norma was a great Lady. A wonderful neighbor for many years. I believe She and John are together now, down at the camp, boat at the ready. God Speed and RIP Norma.
