Norma was born on February 2, in Postoak, Texas, where her family owned a cattle ranch.

From there she moved to Dallas where she worked as an advertising copywriter for Neiman Marcus.  Her next step was Jantzen swimwear in Portland, Oregon and eventually to Los Angeles to work at Carson/Roberts, the largest advertising agency on the west coast at the time. Among her accounts were Max Factor and Mattel and she wrote one of the first ads for the Barbie doll. Later in her career, she freelanced and worked at Art Center in Pasadena.

Norma liked to cook and host dinner parties for friends. She enjoyed art exhibits and attending musical performances in LA. After retirement, she was a docent for 20 years at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino.

Norma is survived by her four nieces. Her final resting place will be in Elmwood Cemetery in Bowie, Texas.
