Norma was born Aug. 11, 1926, and was raised in Charleroi, Pa. She was a member of the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints of Charleroi (now known as the Community of Christ). Norma had many career changes over the years. She and Wilbur spent decades selling travel trailers, and when he passed away, she ran his open pantry. Most recently she held a position with H&R Block, where she was able to continue serving her community. She moved to Virginia to live with her daughter in 2019. Norma will be dearly missed by those who knew her. NELSEN FUNERAL HOME, 412 South Washington Highway, Ashland, Va., is in charge of arrangements. A private ceremony will be held in memory of Norma.
