Norma always worked but mostly as a nurse’s aide and then as a Hairdresser in Grand Prairie where she retired. She loved going on vacations, playing dominos and cards when family or friends came over. She enjoyed her coffee first thing in the morning and working out in her yard making sure it was always beautiful. Our Mother had a way to make everyone she loved feel like they were her favorite. She loved her music and dancing with her family. She loved Thanksgiving so she could spend time with her family and Christmas to celebrate Jesus Birthday by starting the decorating on November 1st with all her beautiful Christmas décor inside and outside with lights on the house so bright that any plane could find their way through a snowstorm.

Our Mother was truly the heart and soul of her family. She had an incredible ability to bring us all together, creating a warm and loving environment where her family felt safe and cherished. She was the glue that held her family together through every joy and challenge. Whether it was her delicious home-cooked meals, her comforting hugs, or the stories she shared that made every moment special. Her family will forever be grateful for her love and countless memories she helped create. Her embrace of compassion and her love for God and her family will forever be remembered. We love you so much Momma.
