Norma received her Master’s Degree in Education and had been a principal in Argentina.

She then worked part-time as a prevention counselor for the Neil Kennedy Recovery Clinic. She was a member of St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church, where she was a member of a Bible Study Group. Norma was also involved with the St. Charles Sister Parish program. She was an avid reader and hosted a bi-monthly book club at her home as well as teaching Spanish to some of her parishioners. Norma enjoyed getting together with her neighbors and organized a dinner group with them. Most important to Norma was her family, especially her grandchildren who called her “Nona”.
