My Dear Aunt Norma, I will always love you. You were there for me when I needed you. You were tough, funny, kind. There was only one of you. Leif adored you. Lovingly, Laurel

I will never forget Norma. I started working for her when she first came to PWD. I worked in the AutoShops which came under her control(Around 1952. She was the best supervisor I ever had in my almost 40 yrs of service, until I retired in 1987. She was more than a boss, she was a dear and close friend. Extremely intelligent. Most all the dept heads always came to her for help and information. Even the Officers.

She will always be remembered as a wonderful, smart, hard-working lady and a caring supervisor. May she rest pain free and in peace.
