Aunt Norma was much beloved by her many Babb family relatives (including her surviving brother-in-law Edwin and wife Sheila, and many nieces and nephews and their many offspring!) scattered across the country. Many thanks to the Hess family for their love and care during her long goodbye after Uncle Neill's death, and particularly after that of my parents, Gene and June Babb.

Aunt Norma (and Uncle Neil) will always hold a special place in my heart. They were always so kind and I enjoyed spending time with them at their cottage on the Potomac going crabbing, looking for shark's teeth and playing on the shore. She will be missed. Charles Babb
