I will remember Norma as a faithful supporter of Bone Gap School. She taught two of our girls piano lessons. She assisted the class at Bone Gap with a Stanley fund raiser. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Doty Family. Grover and Leota.

Our Hearts are sadden by the passing of such a truly wonderful person and friend. A beautiful, kind and loving person that loved her family and friends with so much energy. She was so devoted to Bob, her children and the grandchildren that she was so proud of. May God Bless You as you mourn her and hold comfort in knowing she is safe in Gods Loving Arms.
