I worked with Norma at UNL for over 30 years. I was always delighted when I got to call her for something. She was kind, gentle, a great listener and an all around wonderful person. She was a valued member of the University community and her contributions to Housing specifically were immeasurable. My sympathies to her many friends and family.

I knew Norma during our high school days at Plainview. Also kept in touch with her during the last years of her life. She had a long battle, and is now at peace with her Lord.

Norma was a delight and I will fondly remember her. She cracked me up one day by loudly modeling her speech therapy lessons. It was hilarious! I’m sorry for your loss. I am grateful to have known Norma, and that she is at peace. God Bless
