Norma Van Winkle Obituary
May 20, 1933 – October 23, 2022

Mom was an avid bowler, loved her gardens, putting puzzles together, reading books and enjoyed sitting on her porch swing while doing so. Mom's grandkids and great-grandkids were all special to her. She tried to attend as many events that they had as possible.
