(nee Wright)


Norma was born in Mission, BC on October 4, 1935 and passed away at her home in Salmon Arm, BC on September 17, 2010.

Norma was predeceased by her husband Paul and her father Geoff.

Norma and Paul were married December 20, 1952 in Lumby, BC. They later followed Paul’s career in the forest industry to Golden, Hazelton and Terrace where they enjoyed the majority of their life together raising their family. When her children were grown, she returned to school and the workforce and kept very active in the Royal Purple and bowling communities.

Norma retired to Chase to be near her parents and extended family. She had recently moved to Salmon Arm, where she enjoyed bowling, playing crib and travelling. She loved creating gifts from her crafts, sewing, knitting and quilting and was a long standing member of the Royal Purple where she held several positions, volunteered and made many wonderful friends.
