Norma Jean (Janie) Wolf Endris, 91, entered her Heavenly home on March 16, 2023, at The Beehive Assisted Living in Georgetown, IN. After a long illness, she is now in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Norma was born May 28, 1931, in New Albany, IN to Freda Bertha Weber Wolf and Frank H. Wolf. Norma (Janie) was employed at Convair in San Diego, CA, where they manufactured the Spitfire Bomber that was used in the Korean War. She enjoyed traveling to various cities cheering on her beloved husband who was on The Navy Track team. She later followed her husband to Philadelphia, PA where she was employed by Graybar Electric as a secretary. Janie and Eugene were so treasured that they were both offered employment by Graybar in Louisville, KY. She was also an executive secretary at Kurfee's Paint Company in Louisville, KY.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Lawrence Wolf, brother Vernon Wolf and sister, Doris Wolf Elliott. Norma is survived by her loving husband, Eugene E.

Norma was also the great grandmother to Caylie Gettelfinger, Bryson Crider, and Myla Crider. She was also the Godmother of her dear Marla J. Elliott Fogelman.
Norma (Janie) was not only a homemaker, but she also designed her lovely home. Her artistic and creative handiwork is seen throughout their beautiful home in New Albany. She loved sharing her home with family and friends by hosting holiday/birthday dinners, cousin luncheons and church dinners.
