Norma Jean worked at Kwik-Way Convenience Store for nine years and Banquet Schuster’s Bakery for 32 years. She truly loved her job greeting customers and meeting new people, who usually became dear friends. Norma Jean had a golden heart and treasured each and every one of her friendships. Dinners at Norma’s were always special, she was such a good cook. Her beans, green chili and homemade tortillas were the best. She loved all the kids and they were always welcome at their home. They brought so much joy to her life. Norma and Robert would take them on outings for fun and the kids will all remember that those were the best of times. She loved reading, going to concerts, dining at her favorite places, going on out of town trips and most of all spending time with her family. She was the kindest, sweetest, loving soul that you could ever meet. She had an abundance of love in her heart and shared it with everyone in her life. We were truly blessed to have had her in our lives.
