In her younger years, Norma enjoyed sewing and shopping. She was an avid Cardinals fan and had a great sense of humor. She collected hats and enjoyed playing Skip-Bo and listening to audio books.
Survivors include her daughters, Penny Adams, St. Louis, MO, and Kathy (Randy) Heckman, Rock Island, IL; grandsons, Matthew and Ryan Heckman; sister, Katherine Tate, Rockford, IL; several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents and 11 siblings.
