Norma loved to spend time with her grandchildren, having sleepovers, watching Scooby-Doo and playing Legos. She loved to play BINGO and was usually lucky enough at the casino, which she called “going to work.” She was an avid reader of Agatha Christie and Nero Wolfe novels, as well as a crossword puzzle enthusiast.
