There
are
no
words
to
describe
the
loss
of
my
mate
of
43
years,
she
meant
everything
to
me
and
I
continually
reminded
her
of
this
as
her
time
on
this
earth
drew
near
to a
close.
I
miss
her
terribly
and
my
heart
is
broken.....

When I was a little girl growing up in Copper Center, Shelly and I were inseparable and Norma was like a second mother to me. I loved her dearly, but I know that she is in Heaven with Shelly now and smiling down on all of us here. She gave me the first bible I ever owned in my life and I always treasured it. Much love to her family, my prayers are with you all! Monica Trickey (Walker) |

We were so sorry for those of us who remain, but so glad to hear that Norma is now rejoicing with her Savior. We've spent many hours in prayer for her, but now we can rejoice with her. We wished to come to her memorial, but time and situation did not allow it, so we just want you to know that she was a very important part of our lives when we lived in Tazlina. She was one of my closest friends there, and I treasure her smiles and her laughter. God be with all of you, her family, Fondly, |

Grace and Peace to all who serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am Norma's nephew Thomas Kirk. I did not have the priviledge of knowing my aunt. I do however have the comfort of knowing three things; First, that our God chose to save my Aunt from before the foundation of the world. Second; that Jesus Christ died for not only for her sin but for the sin of all who would ever bow their knees in repentance to our Holy God. Third, that The Holy Spirit of God, in due time made my aunt, who was dead in sins and trespasses (as we all were) ALIVE in Christ Jesus. (Eph 1; 2) So I praise God that though she is no longer here, she has been granted a much better lot, even Eternal Life in Christ. Thomas M. Kirk |

When I heard the whisper on the wind I knew you had gone.
When I saw the mist leave with the dawn I knew you had gone.
When I felt the gentle wave of silence I knew you had gone.
When I tasted the salt of the silent tears falling I knew you had gone.
When I heard the rush of Angels I knew you were home. |

This is Jamie, Jeremy, Jessica and Kendra. We will always have good memories of Aunt Norma. She treated us all the same. She always told us to follow the Lord in all things, and put him first. When Aunt Norma came for a visit, you could hear her and mom laughing and talking. They would talk about the Lord, they would watch TBN and talk of the things of God. All the time mom would call Aunt Norma about prayer things, and Aunt Norma would call mom with prayer requests. Her laugh would make you laugh, she just made you feel good. We didn't get to know her as well as if she lived down here, but it was always good to see her. She was so kind. We will miss her too, and I know my mom will miss her a lot. We will never forget the trip we all got to take to Ocean Shores, she and mom loved the ocean, the pool and the restaurants. We are glad she was our aunt and will never forget her. Your nieces and nephews. Jamie, Jeremy, Jessica and Kendra. |

Duane, Randy and Stacy!
I'm so sorry and wish I could do or say something that will make you feel better.We embrace you tenderly with our thoughts and prayers during this time as we ponder, even through the sorrow the eternal glory that has dawned for precious Norma.
I sit in the Recliner that I bought from her last fall and think of her every time I sit in it.
She was always good to me as I was Debbie's sister.
She gave of herself always and always had a smile and I can still hear her laughter.
God Bless and I'll never forget you Norma. The angels rejoiced when you came home!

Norma was my older sister and my memories of her will always be of how she and Duane took me in, in California and let me stay with them for awhile. She was always there for me if I needed her, along with her prayers and wisdom. We had so much fun together, her laughter, and sense of humor. Her walk with the Lord was amazing, and the knowledge she gained was as pure gold. I will miss her greatly and it will not be the same without her here with us. I know she is with the Lord and family members who have gone before her and a grand reunion waited as she entered Heavens Gates. I love you Norm and miss you. John Kirk / Brother |

Norma White was a great mother-in-law and a wonderful friend. I could talk to her about anything. Alex and Payton will miss their Grandma very much. Even though our hearts are heavy we can take comfort and find peace in knowing she is no longer hurting and is in the presence of Our Savior. |

Mom was a kind heart and a helping hand to many. I would ask that you not sorrow greatly in her passing for we know that our time on this earth is nothing more than a few minutes at the bus stop of eternity. She has earned her great reward. We all feel some loss with her passing even as Jesus did with the passing of his brother, but remember he then pounded his chest as said, "I am the redeemer." Take heart from this knowing that those in Christ will see her again one day soon. Learn from mom's example and be a help to others, for we make a difference to mankind in Christ with one act of random kindness at a time. When you think of mom, smile and celebrate a saint receiving her great reward. |

Norma's warmth and love was a perfect example of a Christian that walked close to the Lord. When she passed I could only think of the hymm "I'm safe in the arms of Jesus". We will miss her warm smile, gentle voice and cheerful heart. Thinking often of the times that we shared and fellowshipped together. Our prayers are with her family that the Comforter will draw close and that the peace that passes all understanding will be with you all. |

She was
a
special
Mom and
wife,
and
truly a
great
friend.
We are

Norma's
leaving
us
causes
me to
reflect
on how
important
past
relationships
continue
to be as
the
years
roll by.
-- we
never
let go
of the
hometown
we build
in our
hearts,.
Norma
was a
mother
figure
in mine.
The last
time I
visited
her at
home, it
was as
if I'd
been
there
yesterday.
Along
with
youth’s
memories,
her
personalized
expressions
of faith
and her
soft,
sing-song
voice
will
always
stay
with me.
I look
forward
with
those
who
share
her
faith to
seeing
her
again in
God's
timing.
My deep
and
heartfelt
condolences
to all
who
loved
her.

I miss my best dearest friend of over 37 years. Life will never be the same for me without her. We shared a bond that never kept us apart as friends. She was like a big sister to me. I feel that you only have that one chance in life to have a friend as close as we were. She loved her husband, children and grandchildren so much and felt so much sorrow and sadness loosing her oldest daughter, Shelly. But she lived for the Lord Jesus and it helped her sorrow. I know that she will be watching and praying for each one of us and that we will see her in heaven. My heart goes out to her family and everyone that had the blessing and pleasure of knowing Norma.

Norma
was a
very
special
woman in
the eyes
of the
Lord,
friends
and
family.
I wish I
could
have sat
down and
talked
about
her
years in
OR. It
seems
she went
to
school
with my
older
sister.
It would
have
been
nice to
convey
that to
her. Her
glowing
smile
and
companionship
will be
greatly
missed.
Gone
from the
body but
not the
mind.

Norma
was my
only
sister.
I love
her
dearly.
She was
more
than a
sister
she was
my best
friend
and my
prayer
partner
and when
you
confided
in her
it
always
stayed
with
her. She
will be
dearly
missed
by me
and her
brothers
here in
the
Seattle
area.
She was
a strong
christian
and
devoted
wife and
mother.
We will
meet you
there in
Glory
Norma!
We know
the
family
will be
unbroken.

My Aunt
Norma
will be
greatly
missed.
I didnt
get to
see her
as much
as we
wish we
could
have as
when
they
would
come
down to
Washington
State
because
of our
schedules.
The
memories
of when
we did
see each
other
and her
great
cooking
will
live on
forever.
I know
she is
having a
great
time now
with the
Lord and
being
able to
see her
daughter
and her
Mother &
Father
who she
truly
loved
with all
her
heart.
All I
ask of
you Lord
is that
you will
let me
touch
peoples
hearts
and help
them the
way she
always
did

Norma
was a
dear
friend
and
wonderful
neighbor
for over
30
years.
We spent
many
hours
together
visiting,
laughing
and a
few
tears
shed.
Many an
election
night
was
spent
til
early
morn
counting
those
votes!
Norma
always
put her
family
and
their
needs
first,
then
friends,
never
thinking
of
herself
and her
own
needs.
She
truly
served
the
Lord,
and now
is at
home.
God
bless
all of
the
family.

I was truly
saddened to hear of Norma's passing. She was a
friend I deeply admired and respected. she never
wavered in her faith which gave her great
strength and comfort. I will miss her
cheerfulness and sense of fun! I always felt
better after a visit from her.

Norma was
such a wonderful lady. Even while she was sick,
she would think of others- including asking my
mom if the curtains she had hemmed for my
kitchen were working out ok. :)

Norma was a
perfect example of a good Christian. I know she
is with Jesus her Savior now and she is w/
Chelle and they are laughing and having a good
time. We will miss her so much here on Earth.
She always made me laugh and she was always full
of love. My heart aches for the loneliness the
family will feel w/ her gone. But at least she
is not suffering anymore. |
