Norma had endless energy and probably coined the term multi-tasker. She literally could not sit still, accomplishing more in an hour than most people could in a day. Norma was an accomplished seamstress. She sewed many of her daughters' clothes including prom dresses, bridesmaids' dresses and numerous dance costumes for Heinze Dance Academy. Norma was also a quilter, a skill she learned from her mother. She worked tirelessly to ensure each of her children and grandchildren received a quilt made lovingly by her. Norma loved cooking for her family, her culinary skills were extraordinary. When she made hot tamales and homemade noodles, people would place orders. The family looked forward to Christmas every year when she made candies, at least 20 different types. Everyone had their favorites, but the top contenders had to be her turtles and fudge. Her pies were legendary, her crusts fabulous! A favorite would be hard to choose . . . Her custard pie? Her strawberry rhubarb? Her peach? Norma enjoyed playing cards. Her favorites included Liverpool Rum and Hearts. Every family gathering included lots of fun and laughter as numerous card and board games were played. To ensure she always had a card playing companion, Norma started teaching her grandchildren games as soon as they were able to sit at the table. Norma was very active at the K of C Barbeque. She and her husband, Chuck, were well known for their onion ring stand which they started. Norma's other passions included following the St. Louis Cardinals, travel, doing crossword puzzles and walking with her neighbors. Her Catholic faith was the cornerstone of her life. Her family takes comfort knowing that she is now in the presence of our Lord.
