It was with much sadness that I learned of my Aunt Norma's death. I have many fond memories of her from various family summer visits over the years. She was always getting a meal and related social activities organized, buzzing around to arrange everyone and everything just so for best effect and fun. She loved antiques, especially her china collection and her tea cart, which she always had set up with changing displays. Over the years, Aunt Norma made sure that we females looked our best, flexing her training as a hairdresser and making use of an in-home salon to do so; that was one more perk of visiting her. She made sure that her sons (Jack and Garry) would touch base with us some time during our visits. They always were doing other things (being older than me) but didn't mind giving up some time to greet family (including my parents). Aunt Norma always had a soft spot for children and animals; I especially remember one visit to her which included a quiet (don't disturb them) visit to the chinchillas that she was raising at the time. I'll always miss her enthusiasm and her talents but I'm glad that I got to know her and them over the years, - Posted by: Marianne Bednas Bruce (niece) on: Feb 11, 2022
