Norma was an avid sports fan. She enjoyed all sports. She played in a senior basketball league with the Charlotte Queen Bees. Most of all, she really enjoyed the pickup games in the driveway with her grandchildren.

She had many passions in life that she truly enjoyed; traveling, gardening, antiques, cooking and shopping. But her greatest passion was family. Spending time with her grandchildren were always her favorite. She never forgot a birthday and you could always count on her mailing a card. She loved the Christmas season and spending time with family around the Christmas tree that you new she decorated with love.

She completed God’s mission for her life and will be greatly missed. A special thank you to the wonderful team at Hospice Care Union. The Hospice team provided the best possible care for Norma and her family.
