Condolences to the Hammer & Bickle Families. Norma was the nicest person
and so well liked by all the school children. Remember her from when my son Tom & daughter Lois went to St Martin's School and my brother John Rimkus wants me to send condolences for him. His children Carol Susan David & Diane went to St Martins at the same time.
They were all very happy to tell what Mrs Hammer did that day. Rest in Peace Norma

Mrs Hammer was truly one of the kindest woman I have ever met! I always looked forward faking a stomach ache so I could get a mint from her and talk for a few minutes in the office. My mother, Lynn Snatchko always thought the highest of her and considered her a good friend and person. So sorry for your loss.

To the Hammer family, your mom, grandmother and great grandmother was truly loved by all. The 70's at St.Martin's would not have been the same without her smile and encouragement. Sincere condolences from the McClure Family. May she rest gently in God's hands.

To all of Norma's Family-
We are truly blessed that you shared her with us for so many years at Elizabeth Seton School. I am grateful for all she shared with us and taught us. Her example as a faith filled, gracious wife, mother, and secretary (actually whole school coordinator!) will always be cherished.
Anyone who knew Norma knew how proud she was of all of you. May God bring you comfort. Many prayers for her eternal rest.
Love and thanks,
Cindy Di Bello
