Norma Ann (Moore) Shoot, 86, of Casey, Illinois, passed away on September 12th, 2025 at 2:45 p.m. in her home. Norma is survived by her husband of 67 years, John Shoot; her son, Kent (Amy) Shoot of Chandler, Arizona; her grandchildren Devon (Hayley) Shoot of Dallas, Georgia and their twins Brooklynn and Blakely; Jarod (Brynne) Shoot of Phoenix, Arizona and their children Archer and Presley; her son Todd (Jill) Shoot of Quincy, Illinois; her grandchildren Kelsey (Jared) Shover of Denton, Texas and their children Ayla, Landry, and Nolan; Alec (Nicole) Shoot of Denver, Colorado; Aaron (Mackenzie) Shoot of Pensacola, Florida and their children Aria and Wilder; and Kiley Shoot of Auburn, Alabama. Norma is also survived by her three brothers Allen Moore of Edwardsville, Illinois, Ed (Bobbi) Moore of Lake Villa, Illinois and Brad (Shari) Moore of Monticello, Indiana as well as many nieces and nephews. Norma was preceded in death by her parents, Truman and Margaret (Allen) Moore and her sister-in-law Susan (Lacy) Moore. Born on October 2, 1938, in Kansas, Illinois, Norma was the oldest child and only daughter of Truman and Margaret Moore. Norma spent her early years in Villa Grove and Kansas, Illinois, where she graduated from Kansas High School in 1956. She and John were married on August 17, 1958, in the Kansas Presbyterian Church. She earned a degree in nursing from Union Hospital School of Nursing in Terre Haute, Indiana and became a registered nurse in 1959. Norma began her nursing career at Charleston Hospital and later Sarah Bush Lincoln Hospital from the time it opened in 1977 until her retirement in 2001, spending the majority of the time in the obstetrics department where she played a part in bringing many lives into the world. In addition to her time at the hospitals, she also served as one of the staff RNs for the American Legion's Boys State for over twenty years and volunteered her nursing skills for the American Red Cross at many blood drives through the years. At the time of her retirement, she was recognized for 42 years as a dedicated nurse, but those who knew her know that she continued nursing family and friends long after retirement. Her care and compassion for others were unending. Norma's greatest gift was her role as a sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. Norma will always be remembered for her thoughtful gift-giving, love for attending her grandchildren's activities, creative and loving homemade birthday cards, deep and true love of family, and the caring way she shared in their interests. Her fun and adventurous spirit allowed her to keep up with her grandchildren-riding roller coasters, catching turtles on camping trips, and always eager to play games. Her family-favorite banana 'pudding' salad and the thought of her purse that contained everything anyone would ever need and more will always bring a smile. The family wishes to thank all of Norma's wonderful caregivers from Sarah Bush Lincoln Hospice. Your care and compassion to Norma and our family was greatly appreciated.
