Norma Rae (Fidler) Grube, 86, formerly of Kempton, PA, and most recently of Orwigsburg, PA passed away peacefully on All-Saints Sunday, November 2, 2025 in her residence, with her loving family by her side, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth, and resilience. A cherished wife to her husband, The Reverend Guy R. Grube, Norma's spirit and kindness enriched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Born on August 16, 1939 in Schuylkill Haven, PA, Norma was a daughter of the late Harold James Fidler and Edna Alice (Fidler) Fidler. She was a graduate of the first class of Blue Mountain High School in 1957, where she served as class Treasurer and her future husband Guy served as class President.

She married her high school sweetheart, Guy on September 27, 1958 at Frieden's Lutheran Church in New Ringgold.

Throughout her life, Norma was a beacon of strength and compassion, dedicating herself to her family. While Norma assisted as a preschool and kindergarten aide for several years as well as briefly working in Real Estate, she was truly a homemaker at heart. She took great pride in raising her five children and tending to their needs. As the years progressed, she became a proud grandmother and great-grandmother. Norma shared a profound bond with her husband Guy, and together, they created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and countless memories that will forever be cherished by those fortunate enough to have shared in their lives.
