Norma Rose Shepherd

I worked with Norma at OSM for many years. It has been at least 10 years since I last saw her, but I will never forget her lovely smile and that contagious laugh of hers. She spread joy wherever she went. I know this is a very sad time for the family, but may you find pleasure in knowing that Norma will be so fondly remembered by so many friends, and may it give you added peace to know that the angels will now be the lucky recipients of Norma's presence and laughter. God Bless you all.

Norma, thank you for being the person you were. As teenagers you always drove us around in the nova. You never missed a track meet,and you were "MOM" to so many...I can say for my family how much you will be missed. You were like a second mom to me, another grandparent to my kids, and my grand kids...."You are a proud Marine Grandmother" And you wore your sweatshirt well. Thank you for all the love you easily gave with out asking for anything in return. We are blessed to be part of your life....

To an amazing woman, who always had a warm smile and heartfelt laugh even when things were tough. Thank you for being the wonderful person you were, and a great sister to my dad. We will all miss you, and you will forever be in our hearts.

Norma was a joy to work with and was greatly missed when she left OSM. She was always happy to help and did so with a delightful smile. I'm glad to have known her.

I was one of the "newbies" at OSM that Norma was always bailing out. She was always there with her ready smile and gracious assistance. I know she will be missed. Remember her with joy.

I worked with Norma at OSM for a number of years and enjoyed her and her sense of humor immensely. Her smile was contagious. She was a good friend and a great mom. I know she will be missed - but you still have all those wonderful memories to help ease the loss.

At OSM Norma was the "lady in Payroll with the big smile". She made it a point to make each employee feel special and always went the extra mile to be of assistance. Norma was very proud of her children and was quick to share their accomplishments with all of us. May the coming days be filled with beautiful memories of time spent together.

Working with Norma at Oregon Steel, I found her to be such a delightful woman. She was always smiling, and always willing to go the extra way to help someone. It was a genuine pleasure to know Norma. She was great gal.
