Norma Cobb Obituary
Norma was preceded in death by her father, Vernon Edward Galyardt, who passed away on September 9, 2001, and her mother, Gay Nell Hogue Galyardt Meyer, who passed away on March 27, 2017. Her grannie, Ollie K. Hogue, passed away on March 6, 2008, and her sister Susanne Galyardt passed in December 2019.
She leaves behind her five beloved children: Sidney Michael Cobb and wife Manjola of Texas, Sean Edward Cobb and wife Laura of Alaska, Thomas James, Cara Cobb of Alaska, and Cora Cobb of Alaska.
Her numerous grandchildren: Audrey and Sidney Jr., Cassandra and Caje, Ira, Jared, Norma Gene, Joey, Aaron, Grady, Chantell, and Mahalia.

I had known Norma since grade school. We grew up three blocks from each other and was always getting together and doing things such as brownies, girl scouts and teen dances. After we graduated everyone went their own way and I never got to reconnect with Norma until just before she moved to Colorado. When she moved back here from Alaska I was so happy to have her close to me again in Wichita. Then she moved to Arizona because of her health and we still connected by telephone and emails and Facebook. I sit and reread the book she wrote because it helps me just picture her and remembering all the good times. Norma was such an awesome person and loved and will be missed by so very many people. I love you girl

I met Norma at church in Sedona.. she was like magnet to me. We hit it off talking about her life in Alaska and that she had written a book. What a joy to read about this amazing woman that I know personally! We will see each other in Glory!

Sad to hear of Norma's passing. She has been a faithful friend since growing up in Kansas. She loved the Lord and all her family and friends and shared her adventures in Alaska by writing a book to be enjoyed by all.

I remember Norma as always such a beautiful lady... she was always so busy doing all kinds of stuff. Rest easy, Norma.

We first met through sharing genealogy. We seemed to be on very similar wavelengths immediately, feeling our shared interest and deep roots in family and Coke County. I will miss the back and forth comments by way of FB with my distant cousin from the Couch line.

I am so sorry to hear this. I enjoyed sharing family news with Norma and enjoyed our time together. I will miss her, but I know I will see her again with Jesus.
