Our condolences to the family for their loss. We were blessed to have Norma as our next door neighbor for the past 29 years. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Norma always greeted us with a big, friendly smile. She was full of kindness and love and it was always a joy to chat with her. Norma, you will be missed by everyone who knew you. You and Fred are united again.

I will miss you grandma and will always cherish the memories from our time together. I admired your perceptiveness, candidness, ability to remember everything, youthfulness, strength, and story telling which always put you at the center of the conversation. Visiting Lafayette won't be the same without you there running the house that you and grandpa built, ensuring there are delicious baked goods, home cooked meals, and fun things for all of us kids to do.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Just wanted to let you know how sorry we are for your lose. I wanted to tell you how I always appreciated spending time at your home as a Child. Enjoying the summer days and having much to do in the country! I would have to say that it was a big influence in our families choice to seek country living after leaving Detroit. Playing outback, riding minibikes, go carts shooting BB guns etc .A great place to be if you liked to have busy fun! I very much hoped to see all of you too share memories. It all feels strange not being able to come west. I really do enjoy all your company and wanted to share in your mourning. I will say how much I enjoyed your Moms 90th birthday party she seemed very happy with it and all the effort for it. It was great to see all the Krieg's together! I hope to see you all soon when it is less risky for health and well being. God Bless you all. The Doug Leaman Clan!

Norma was a pleasure to know. We met through Hillwood Ext. Club and enjoyed many happy times at our meetings. Her pies were to die for, I have several potholders and every time I use them I will think of her. Sonja Wiegand

Norma was my Aunt by marriage to her niece for 44 years. Shortly after Kristyl’s death, she made a strawberry rhubarb pie for me…she remembered, over 40 some years, that was my favorite. She was a lovely thoughtful lady.
