She and her husband George traveled extensively in their motor home “The Magic Bus,” often times to model yacht regattas where George sailed his EC12 sailboat and Norma often kept score. They lived for many years in Touisset Point in Warren where they were active in the Community Club. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all who knew her.
