Norma SCHRADER Obituary
Norma was a graduate of William & Mary and spent her years there studying mathematics and showing her school spirit by playing on the girls' basketball team.
Norma was preceded in rest by her sister, Rheba Burgess; her brother, Larry Burgess and her husband of 45 years, James H. Schrader. James and Norma met when they worked together at NASA. They were married in 1953 and spent their married life enjoying sailing trips, cross country travel, and doubles tennis.
Norma was known for her green thumb; she took great pleasure in gardening and grew beautiful flowers. She also enjoyed golf, traveling, and spending summer vacations in the Outer Banks, N.C., with family where she was always the first one to grab a boogie board and hit the water!
Norma was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She is survived by her daughters, Ann Schrader and Jenny Davis and her husband, Mike; granddaughter, Cindy Jalkian and her husband, Sarkis; her grandson, Steve Davis and his fiancE, Melissa Armstrong; her sisters, Miriam Burgess, Linda Burgess and her husband, Jim Yeatts; and her brother, Phillip Burgess and his wife, Margaret. Norma lived a full and happy life and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
A Graveside Service will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 8, 2010, at Peninsula Memorial Park. The family will receive friends directly following the service at the family home in Newport News.

Dearest Ann and Jenny, I only met your mother once and it was such a memorable meeting, especially since I live in California! God puts people in our lives for a reason, even if only for a short time. I am so thankful that He gave me the grace to have that meeting! I am confident that she is now organizing her own "Angels" sports teams!!!
Love, hugs and many Blessings of Comfort to you and your family.
