Norma Stover Obituary
Fowler - Norma R. Stover, 79, of Fowler, IN passed away peacefully with her family by her side on September 20, 2019. Born on November 12, 1939 to Robert and Arlene Stout in Lafayette, IN, she was the eldest of eleven children. Norma married Millard "Lee" Stover in 1959 in Lafayette, IN. He preceded her in death on November 29, 2004. Norma graduated from Pine Township School in Benton County where she resided her entire life. In addition to raising their own children, Lee and Norma also opened their home to numerous international exchange students, who still consider them their second parents.

She won many awards on her open class exhibits at the Benton County Fair. Norma dearly loved her grandchildren and doing things with them, especially taking golf cart rides through the country with them and enjoying the country scenery.
Survivors include one son, Mark R. Stover (Lisa), two daughters, Diane D. Richardson (Doug) and Deborah Stover, five grandchildren, Isaac and Leia Richardson, Cory, Hunter and Emily Stover and one great grandson, Aiden Richardson, four brothers, Robert Stout (Isabelle, deceased), Donald Stout (Judy), Larry Stout (Marilyn), Lynn Stout (Jackie), four sisters, Shirley Hamilton (Donald, deceased), Glenda Villegas (Pio, deceased), Cheryl Perkins (Tony) and Gayle Reyes and many special nieces and nephews.
