Norma lived life. I really enjoyed talking with Norma about the early years coming to Alaska and living in Palmer. She was very adventurous and always upbeat. I will miss you my friend.

It's difficult for me to imagine that Norma Benson is no longer with us. Ever since I can remember, our paths crossed for a just a moment here and there. And every moment had meaning and provided a sense of stability and caring and community. My sincere condolences to all.
