Betty Lou Norton

Anyone who has been a part of a school knows that the principal's administrative assistant is the one who runs the school. That was Betty at Prairie Middle School. As principal of Prairie, Betty was the person who I could depend on - to make sure the school ran smoothly and safely for all staff and students. And she did. I could always depend on her to be honest and straight forward with me. On many occasions, she would say to me, 'Why would you do that?' And, I would stop and think, 'Yeah,...

Betty had the most beautiful spirit and would make you feel at home the moment you walked into the building. I started my teaching career at Prairie and I always remember how welcome she made me feel and how, no matter the day's events, she could put a smile on your face. She will be greatly missed. The world needs more of Betty's kindness and generosity. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Peace be with you all.

Betty, there will NEVER be another you. I can honestly say you were the kindest and thoughtful person, I have ever known.Thank-you for letting me part of your life but mostly for being in mine. Cathy hayden

Betty had the kindest spirit of anyone I've ever known besides my own Aunt Betty. She never had a negative word to say about anyone. I know she was deeply loved by our entire Prairie staff. She will be missed terribly. Our thoughts and prayers our with your family in this time of grief.

Sincere sympathy to the Norton family.May God comfort your family in the days and weeks ahead.May your loving memories sustain you,and may perserering in prayer comfort you,Romans 12:12.

I've never met someone like Betty who was like an Aunt Bea to an entire school. She was non-judgmental and kind. She was the glue that held so many things together. At Prairie Middle School we all owed her a debt we could not repay for being a friend to us all. She made a difference and I will miss her. Rest in Peace Betty.
My condolences and prayers to your family.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I pray that God give you the endurance, courage, and faith you need during this time.
