Norma grew up in Miami, the daughter of a fire fighter and a homemaker. In her early years, she enjoyed going to the movies and raising greyhounds with her father and uncle. She graduated from Miami Edison High School in 1951 where she met the love of her life and future husband, Alvin L. Wells, Jr. who preceded her in death in 1974. Together Norma and Alvin had 5 children.
The most important thing in Norma’s life was family. A loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother her family was her pride and joy. She enjoyed spending time with the ones she loved whether on vacation in North Carolina, cruising the Caribbean or just simple family gatherings at home, home was always wherever she was with her “babies”. Although Norma accomplished many things in her life, her family was most certainly what she felt was the most significant.
