Loved getting to know her and Gaylord for almost a decade of working at Village Inn. They were always so kind to serve. She will be missed greatly!
Norma & Gaylord were wonderful great grandparents to Chance & Mathilda. They were kind, accepting and welcoming always. Talking with them was like talking with my own grandparents. I especially loved hearing stories from Norma of her jobs over the years, like at the Orpheum. My heart rejoices that she and her great love are reunited in heaven. Lifting her family in my prayers during this time of grief. May you all be overwhelmed with love and memories. Mandi Headley
I am very sorry to hear that Norma has passed away. She and Gaylord were dear friends of my parents Howard and Rosemary Ray. I am sure they are having a heavenly celebration now. May God comfort her family. My prayers are with you. Becky Ray Eichacker
My heart goes out to you Gayla, Brent and Brian as you grieve the loss of your beautiful Mother. What a vibrant soul & being. And dontcha know those old Porter neighbors are rejoicing in the great bye-and-bye. I love that they’re still neighbors even when they are lain to rest. I know you will miss her. Love you guys.
